Product Overview
A branch firewall has a deceptively demanding job. It may sit in a small office or retail site, but it often becomes the control point for cloud applications, business email, payment terminals, IP phones, guest WiFi, remote users, CCTV access, inter-branch VPN traffic and administrator connectivity. The FortiGate 31G is designed for this type of compact edge environment, where the business needs more than a basic router but does not want the footprint or complexity of a larger enterprise appliance.
The platform runs FortiOS, bringing firewall rules, routing, VPN, secure SD-WAN, application control and optional FortiGuard security services into one operating environment. This unified approach can be useful for an IT team that wants to manage internet access and security policy without maintaining separate devices for routing, branch VPN and threat inspection. The appliance uses four Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 interfaces: one dedicated WAN port, two general Gigabit Ethernet ports and one Gigabit Ethernet FortiLink port by default. A console port supports local administration. The 31G version also includes 30 GB of SSD storage, which differentiates it from the storage-less 30G and can be valuable for local logging or operational visibility depending on the deployment design.
For Kuwait buyers, model selection should begin with actual network conditions. An office with a 100 Mbps internet line and modest inspection requirements presents a different sizing problem from a branch using several hundred megabits of cloud traffic, encrypted sessions and active security profiles. The published performance figures therefore need to be read in context. Firewall throughput can reach approximately 4 Gbps under specified test conditions, while IPS, next-generation firewall and threat-protection figures are lower because deeper inspection requires more processing. Real production performance depends on packet size, enabled services, traffic mix, firmware, logging and policy design.
FourTeck helps translate these specifications into a practical procurement decision. Customers can share their user count, internet speed, number of branches, VPN needs, web filtering requirements, current firewall model and planned growth. That information makes it easier to identify the correct appliance, service bundle, term and accessories before a quotation is prepared.
Key Business Benefits
The value of a firewall is not simply the number printed beside a throughput specification. Business value comes from how well the platform fits the site, protects the traffic that matters and remains manageable over its useful life. The following benefits explain where the 31G can add practical value in an appropriate branch or small-office deployment.
Integrated Edge Security
Firewalling, application visibility, VPN and optional threat-security services can be handled from the same appliance. This reduces the need to bolt several small network devices together simply to protect a branch internet connection.
Secure Branch Connectivity
IPsec VPN capability supports encrypted connections between offices, data centers and other reachable networks. For multi-site businesses, that can simplify access to central applications while keeping traffic protected across public links.
SD-WAN Control
Secure SD-WAN features can help businesses steer traffic between available links according to policy and application requirements. This is useful where a branch has primary and backup connectivity or wants more deliberate handling of cloud traffic.
Local Storage
The 30 GB SSD gives the 31G a practical advantage over the 30G when local logging or storage-supported workflows are part of the plan. Buyers should still decide how long logs must be retained and whether centralized reporting is needed.
Compact Deployment
The desktop form factor suits offices that do not have a full server room. It can be positioned in a secure communications cabinet, on a shelf or with compatible mounting accessories when the site design requires a cleaner installation.
Centralized Fortinet Ecosystem
Organizations already using Fortinet switching, wireless, management or security services may benefit from a consistent operational approach. The FortiLink port is especially relevant when FortiSwitch integration forms part of the branch architecture.
These benefits matter most when the product is correctly sized. A small appliance can still be the wrong choice if encrypted traffic, inspection policies or user growth exceed the design target. Conversely, overbuying can create unnecessary cost. FourTeck can help compare current and future requirements so the purchase is based on the real workload rather than only the appliance label.
Product Highlights
30 GB SSD Storage
The integrated SSD is the defining hardware difference of the 31G within the 30G family. It provides onboard storage that can support local log handling and operational visibility where appropriate.
Four Gigabit Ethernet Ports
The appliance includes one GE RJ45 WAN interface, two general GE RJ45 ports and one GE RJ45 FortiLink interface, giving small sites a straightforward physical design for WAN and local connectivity.
FortiOS Platform
Networking and security functions are managed through FortiOS, which supports firewall policy, routing, SD-WAN, VPN, application control and integration with the broader Fortinet Security Fabric.
TPM Hardware Support
The model includes a Trusted Platform Module as part of its hardware security design. This contributes to platform integrity features supported by the product architecture.
Published performance for the family includes IPS throughput around 800 Mbps, NGFW throughput around 570 Mbps and threat-protection throughput around 500 Mbps under Fortinet test conditions. IPsec VPN throughput is listed at about 3.5 Gbps with 512-byte packets, while basic IPv4 firewall throughput reaches up to approximately 4 Gbps depending on packet size. These figures are useful for comparison but are not a guarantee of identical production results. SSL inspection, logging, multiple security profiles and complex rule sets can materially change effective throughput. A correct design therefore looks at the traffic mix and enabled controls together.

A specification table should be treated as a planning tool rather than a sizing shortcut. Firewall throughput is measured under different conditions from threat-protection or SSL-inspection throughput. If a branch will enable IPS, web filtering, application control, malware scanning and encrypted-traffic inspection at the same time, the more relevant numbers are the security-throughput figures rather than the highest firewall-only figure. The right configuration also depends on whether the site uses one ISP or two, whether VPN traffic is concentrated at peak hours and whether the device will manage connected FortiSwitch or FortiAP equipment. Buyers should also confirm the required FortiCare and FortiGuard term because the hardware and service bundle together determine support scope, security feature access and renewal planning.
Configuration and Buyer Guidance
Start with the workload rather than the product code. Ask how much internet bandwidth the branch uses today, what upgrade is expected during the next two or three years and how much of that traffic will be inspected. A 300 Mbps internet circuit with light policy control can behave very differently from a similar circuit carrying encrypted SaaS traffic, web filtering, IPS and application-control profiles. If the business expects to move to a faster ISP service, include that future speed in the sizing discussion.
User and Device Count
Count employees, guest devices, phones, cameras, printers, servers and IoT equipment that may generate sessions through the firewall. Device count often exceeds staff count.
Security Profiles
Decide whether IPS, web filtering, application control, malware inspection and SSL inspection will be enabled. These choices influence real throughput and subscription selection.
VPN and Branch Design
Identify site-to-site tunnels, remote-access requirements and any cloud or data-center destinations. Include expected concurrent use and peak traffic.
Growth and Lifecycle
Estimate branch expansion, additional VLANs, faster internet, more users and new applications so the appliance does not become undersized soon after deployment.
Compatibility also matters. Existing switches must support the VLAN and trunking design you plan to use. If FortiSwitch management through FortiLink is required, confirm the supported topology and software compatibility. If the firewall is replacing an older model, review the existing address plan, NAT rules, inbound services, VPN settings and authentication methods before migration. A rushed appliance swap can disrupt printing, VoIP, CCTV access or cloud services even when the new firewall itself is correctly sized.
Ideal Business Use Cases
The FortiGate 31G is most compelling where a site needs business-grade network security in a compact form factor. It is not intended to be a universal choice for every network size. The following scenarios show where its feature set may fit when throughput and subscription requirements have been checked carefully.
Small Corporate Office
A professional office can use the appliance as its internet security edge, applying firewall rules, web controls, application policies and VPN connectivity while separating staff, guest and infrastructure networks through VLANs.
Retail Branch
Retail locations may use it to separate point-of-sale systems from guest WiFi and employee devices, while maintaining encrypted connectivity to central inventory, ERP or management systems.
Clinic or Service Site
A clinic or customer-service branch may need controlled browsing, protected cloud access, segmented administrative systems and VPN connectivity back to a main office. Policy design should reflect privacy and operational requirements.
Distributed Enterprise Branch
Organizations with several small locations can use a consistent FortiOS policy approach across branches, potentially combining secure SD-WAN, central management and site-to-site VPN with Fortinet ecosystem tools.
Remote or Project Office
Temporary or project-based offices can benefit from a compact security gateway that supports secure access to headquarters resources. The final design should consider physical security, power quality and connectivity reliability at the site.
Existing Fortinet Environment
Businesses already using FortiSwitch, FortiAP or Fortinet management tools may value the operational consistency. Compatibility and supported versions should still be checked before procurement.
In all these cases, the firewall is one part of the network. Security outcomes also depend on endpoint protection, user awareness, patching, backups, identity controls, secure WiFi, good switch configuration and disciplined administration. FourTeck can help buyers place the appliance within that wider infrastructure instead of treating it as a stand-alone purchase.
End-User Buying Guide and Practical Product Questions
A buyer researching the FortiGate 31G for business use usually reaches the model after one of three situations: a current firewall is approaching replacement, a new branch needs a security gateway, or the company wants stronger controls than an ISP router can provide. The first question should therefore be whether the appliance fits the workload, not whether the model is currently popular or inexpensive. Start with the internet circuit speed, the number of active users and devices, the applications that matter to the business and the security services that will be enabled.
For a small office, the published 4 Gbps firewall figure may look comfortably above the ISP speed. However, a real production network can use IPS, application control, web filtering, malware inspection, VPN and SSL inspection simultaneously. The more relevant figures then become the 800 Mbps IPS, 570 Mbps NGFW and 500 Mbps threat-protection ratings, each measured under vendor test conditions. This is why an accurate FortiGate 31G configuration discussion should include security profiles and traffic type. If the organization plans to upgrade from a 200 Mbps circuit to 500 Mbps or 1 Gbps during the appliance lifecycle, the future circuit should be part of the sizing exercise now.
Which configuration should I choose?
The hardware model is fixed, but the commercial package changes with FortiCare and FortiGuard services and term length. Choose the service bundle according to required security capabilities, support expectation and renewal plan rather than simply choosing the lowest initial cost.
Will it work with my network?
Confirm VLAN design, switch compatibility, WAN handoff, public IP requirements, DHCP scope, VPN peers, DNS settings and any inbound services. If using FortiLink, check supported FortiSwitch models and software versions for the intended topology.
Do I need accessories?
Most small deployments need appropriate Ethernet cabling, protected power and a secure physical location. A wall-mount kit can be relevant for structured installations. The exact power adaptor regional code should also match the supplied market package.
What about licensing?
Advanced security services depend on the purchased FortiGuard bundle and active service term. Support scope also depends on FortiCare. Ask for the exact SKU and term on the quotation so renewal dates and included services are clear.
Can it support future growth?
Growth should be measured in bandwidth, sessions, users, branches and inspection load. If planned expansion moves the site close to the platform’s practical limits, a larger model may offer a better lifecycle path.
Installation planning is equally important. Before replacing an existing firewall, export or document the current configuration and map every service that crosses the device. This includes site-to-site VPN tunnels, remote access, public-facing servers, IP phones, CCTV remote viewing, WiFi guest networks, payment devices and cloud applications with IP-based restrictions. The migration plan should define who has ISP credentials, public IP information, administrator access and change authority. A technically suitable firewall can still cause avoidable downtime if these details are missing during cutover.
Daily administration should also influence the purchase. Some organizations have an internal IT administrator who can maintain policies and monitor events. Others expect an external provider to assist with configuration and changes. Decide who will own firmware updates, backups, security policy reviews, VPN user changes and subscription renewals. The 30 GB SSD is useful for local storage, but the organization should still define whether logs must be retained centrally for longer periods, whether reports are needed for management and whether FortiAnalyzer or cloud-based services are part of the design.
Common buying mistakes include selecting only by model name, comparing only the firewall-throughput number, forgetting the subscription term, ignoring future ISP upgrades and failing to identify required VPN or VLAN features before ordering. Another mistake is assuming that two FortiGate models with similar names are interchangeable. The 31G differs from the 30G by including onboard storage, while larger G-series models can offer additional performance, ports or capacity. If the exact product is unavailable, FourTeck can help review a suitable alternative based on the requirement rather than substituting a model without explanation.
What to Send for an Accurate Quote
Provide the required quantity, current firewall model, internet speed, expected upgrade speed, approximate users and devices, number of sites, VPN requirements, security services required, preferred support term, delivery location and whether configuration or migration assistance is needed.
For a FortiGate 31G price in Kuwait, this information helps FourTeck prepare a more useful quotation and identify whether the requested hardware and subscription combination fits the business. If you are ordering several units, also state whether the sites use a standardized template or different ISP and LAN designs.
FortiGate 31G Performance and Workload Handling
Performance is best understood as several layers rather than one headline figure. At the simplest level, the appliance can process basic firewall traffic at up to around 4 Gbps under specified packet-size testing. When intrusion prevention is enabled against a more realistic enterprise traffic mix, the published IPS throughput is about 800 Mbps. With next-generation firewall functions, the figure is around 570 Mbps, and the threat-protection rating is around 500 Mbps. These lower numbers are not a weakness in the specification; they reflect the additional processing required when the firewall examines traffic more deeply.
This distinction is especially important for cloud-heavy branches. Microsoft 365, web applications, video meetings and SaaS platforms generate large volumes of encrypted traffic. If the security policy includes SSL inspection, application control and IPS, the device must perform more work than when it simply forwards packets. IT managers should therefore estimate peak rather than average traffic and consider what percentage of the traffic will receive advanced inspection.
The platform supports up to 600,000 concurrent TCP sessions and up to 30,000 new TCP sessions per second according to published product figures. Those capacities can support a substantial number of normal small-office connections, but unusual workloads such as public guest networks, high-volume application testing or very connection-heavy services can change session behavior. For ordinary branch deployments, correct rule design and service selection usually matter more than chasing a theoretical maximum. FourTeck can help buyers compare the site profile with the published performance ranges and identify when moving to a larger model would provide more headroom.
FortiGate 31G Secure SD-WAN and VPN Connectivity
For a branch office, security and connectivity are usually inseparable. The site needs a firewall because it connects users and systems to the internet, but the same site may also need resilient access to cloud services or a headquarters network. Secure SD-WAN gives administrators a way to use more than one available WAN path and apply policy to traffic selection. Where a branch has primary fiber and a backup internet service, for example, SD-WAN rules can be designed to influence which link carries important applications and how the site responds when the preferred path becomes unavailable.
IPsec VPN is another core use case. The 31G is rated for approximately 3.5 Gbps IPsec VPN throughput using 512-byte packets under test conditions, with support for up to 200 gateway-to-gateway tunnels and 250 client-to-gateway IPsec tunnels in the published specification. Real deployments should be sized according to encryption settings, packet profile and concurrent traffic. For multi-branch companies, the important question is not only how many tunnels are supported but how much traffic each tunnel carries during the busy part of the day.
A good WAN design also considers DNS, routing, application dependencies and failover testing. Simply connecting two internet services does not automatically create a resilient branch. Critical cloud applications may rely on source-IP restrictions, voice platforms may need stable quality, and inbound services may require specific public addresses. FourTeck can help buyers plan the firewall purchase around these practical constraints so SD-WAN and VPN capabilities are matched to the business architecture rather than enabled without a clear design.
FortiGate 31G Security Services, Storage and Management
The appliance becomes more than a stateful firewall when security services and application-aware controls are enabled. Depending on the purchased FortiGuard bundle, organizations can use services such as intrusion prevention, web filtering, application control and malware-related protection. Because these services are subscription based, buyers should treat the service term as part of the product rather than a later administrative detail. The exact quotation should identify the bundle, term and support level clearly.
The 30 GB onboard SSD is a notable reason to choose the 31G instead of the 30G. Local storage can support logging requirements and can make troubleshooting easier when the branch needs local event history. However, storage capacity by itself does not define a complete logging strategy. Companies with longer retention requirements, centralized reporting or compliance-driven event analysis may need FortiAnalyzer, FortiGate Cloud or another supported logging architecture. The branch firewall should therefore be purchased with a view of how administrators will investigate incidents and review trends over time.
Management is also simplified when the organization standardizes on Fortinet products. The default FortiLink interface can integrate supported FortiSwitch devices, and the appliance can manage a defined number of FortiAPs and FortiSwitches within platform limits. This can reduce operational fragmentation at a small branch, but version compatibility and topology still need to be checked. FourTeck can help review whether the buyer needs only a firewall appliance or a broader branch stack that includes switching, wireless and centralized management.
What Buyers Should Check Before Purchase
Before requesting a quote, confirm the role the firewall will play in the network and the conditions it must handle during peak use. A correct order is more than the appliance SKU. It includes service subscriptions, support term, accessories, migration expectations and the network details that determine whether the unit is suitable for the site.
Configuration Fit
Confirm internet speed, user and device count, expected SSL inspection, VPN traffic and future growth. Use the security-throughput figures when advanced inspection will be enabled.
Compatibility Check
Review VLANs, switches, WAN handoff, public IPs, existing VPN peers and any Fortinet devices that will integrate through FortiLink or centralized management.
Availability and Warranty
Availability, warranty handling and support scope can vary by bundle, supplier and term. Confirm the exact FortiCare and FortiGuard SKU on the quote rather than relying on the appliance name alone.
Quote Preparation
Share quantity, branch count, current model, ISP bandwidth, preferred security services, requested term, delivery location and whether configuration or migration support is required.
Also check physical and operational details that are easy to miss. The appliance uses an external 12 VDC power adapter and should be installed in a secure, ventilated location. If the site needs structured wall installation, confirm mounting options. Determine who will register and administer the product, who will maintain backups and firmware, and how subscription renewals will be tracked. For bulk or project orders, ask whether all sites use the same configuration or whether each location has different ISP, IP addressing and VPN requirements. FourTeck can use this information to identify a more suitable alternative if the requested model is undersized, unavailable or commercially mismatched to the project.
Kuwait Availability and Service Support
FourTeck supports Fortinet firewall enquiries across Kuwait with a focus on matching the product and subscription package to the business requirement. For this model, availability may vary by hardware allocation, FortiCare or FortiGuard bundle, contract term, order quantity and supplier status. Buyers should therefore request current availability rather than assume that every bundle is immediately available.
Quote support can include reviewing the appliance SKU, service package, term and quantity. Configuration guidance can cover requirement discovery such as bandwidth, user count, VPN demand, VLAN structure, SD-WAN intent and migration scope. Delivery coordination can be discussed after the commercial and technical requirements are clear. Warranty guidance depends on the purchased support arrangement and applicable Fortinet service terms, so the quotation should make those details explicit.
For Kuwait City projects, provide the site type and whether the firewall is for a new deployment, replacement, branch expansion or security refresh. A new site may require WAN and LAN planning from the beginning, while a replacement may need configuration migration, cutover preparation and rollback planning. FourTeck can help organize the enquiry so technical and procurement teams are working from the same assumptions before the order is finalized.
Kuwait City, Hawalli, Salmiya, Farwaniya, Ahmadi, and Jahra Coverage
Businesses in Kuwait City, Hawalli, Salmiya, Farwaniya, Ahmadi, Jahra, Salwa, Fahaheel, Mangaf, Shuwaikh, Al Rai and other Kuwait locations can contact FourTeck for firewall availability, configuration review and quotation assistance. Keeping location discussion in one planning stage helps the technical team focus on the network rather than treating each district as a different product requirement.
The deployment context can still vary by area and business type. A central office may need several branch VPNs and stronger reporting, while a retail location may focus on payment network separation, guest access and stable cloud connectivity. A warehouse may require secure access to ERP applications, CCTV segmentation and wireless infrastructure. A clinic or education site may place more emphasis on controlled browsing and clear separation between staff and guest networks. These differences are better captured by describing the site and workload than by repeating location names throughout the product page.
When requesting a quote, include the Kuwait delivery location, required quantity and any timing dependencies. If the purchase is part of a larger rollout, mention how many branches are included and whether each site will use the same firewall template. This information can affect deployment planning, configuration effort and delivery coordination.
Kuwait Commercial Area Availability
FourTeck can support firewall enquiries for commercial offices, retail groups, clinics, schools, hospitality businesses, warehouses, service companies and distributed organizations operating across Kuwait. Product availability, delivery options, warranty handling and configuration support may vary based on the selected model, subscription term, quantity and supplier status. The buying process is clearer when commercial and technical details are collected together.
For an office or branch deployment, useful information includes the ISP connection type, current router or firewall, public IP allocation, local switch and WiFi environment, business applications, remote-access needs and any branch-to-head-office connectivity. For project supply, procurement teams should also include the expected order quantity, preferred delivery schedule, invoice requirements and whether subscription terms should be aligned across sites. This can prevent a situation where each branch starts with a different renewal date or an inconsistent security package.
The FourTeck Kuwait site provides broader networking and cybersecurity product information for buyers who are still comparing options. Visit FourTeck Kuwait for business IT categories or use the contact page to submit a requirement for current quotation and availability support.
Other FortiGate Options Buyers May Consider
A related model can be useful when the branch needs less capacity, more headroom or a different storage profile. The best comparison is not a winner-versus-loser exercise; it is a sizing discussion based on traffic, security services, interfaces, storage and future growth. These FourTeck pages provide nearby options for buyers building a shortlist.
FortiGate 30G
Useful when a small branch needs the same compact family without the 31G onboard storage requirement.
FortiGate 50G
A stronger compact option for organizations that need more security throughput and additional performance headroom.
FortiGate 51G
Relevant when buyers want a nearby G-series model with integrated storage and a higher performance class.
FortiGate 70G
Consider when a larger branch, faster connection or heavier inspection workload requires more room for growth.
FortiGate 71G
Another storage-equipped branch option for buyers comparing higher-capacity Fortinet appliances.
When comparing these models, review security throughput rather than only firewall throughput, check the port layout, decide whether local storage is important and calculate headroom for ISP upgrades. FourTeck can help narrow the list based on the actual site requirement and can also discuss related switching, wireless and connectivity needs where the firewall is part of a larger branch refresh.
Why Buyers Choose FourTeck
Business firewall procurement involves more than placing an appliance in a cart. The hardware may be simple to identify, but the correct bundle, term, performance class and deployment plan depend on the network. FourTeck approaches the enquiry from that practical perspective, helping customers collect the details needed for a clearer decision.
Help with model and quantity discussions for SMB, branch and project requirements.
Requirement review around users, bandwidth, VPN, security services and future growth.
Clearer appliance, subscription and term selection before a commercial proposal is finalized.
Delivery planning discussed according to quantity, location and current supplier status.
Support-term discussion based on the purchased FortiCare package and applicable product coverage.
This approach is particularly useful for buyers who know the product name but are unsure which subscription SKU to select.

FourTeck can review whether the requirement includes policy migration, new VPN tunnels, additional VLANs, dual-WAN design or integration with existing switches and wireless access points. The goal is to make the procurement request technically complete enough that the chosen product fits the intended use.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the FortiGate 31G used for?
It is a compact next-generation firewall for branch offices and small business networks. It can provide firewall policy, secure SD-WAN, IPsec VPN, application control and optional FortiGuard security services. The 31G also includes 30 GB of onboard SSD storage, which can be useful for local logging and operational visibility depending on the deployment.
Is the FortiGate 31G available in Kuwait?
FourTeck supports enquiries for this model in Kuwait. Current availability can change according to appliance allocation, selected FortiCare or FortiGuard bundle, service term, quantity and supplier status. For an accurate answer, send FourTeck the required quantity and preferred support period so current sourcing and quotation options can be checked.
Can FourTeck help choose the right security bundle?
Yes. Bundle selection should reflect the security services your business actually plans to use, such as IPS, web filtering, application control and malware-related protection. FourTeck can review the required services, support expectations and term so the quote identifies an appropriate hardware-and-subscription combination instead of listing only the base appliance.
How should I size the firewall for my office?
Share your internet speed, user and device count, enabled inspection requirements, VPN traffic and expected growth. When advanced security services are enabled, use the IPS, NGFW and threat-protection performance figures as part of the sizing discussion rather than relying only on the higher firewall-throughput number.
Does the 31G include local storage?
Yes. The FortiGate 31G includes 30 GB of onboard SSD storage. This is a key distinction from the 30G. The storage can support local logging-related use cases, but organizations with longer retention or centralized reporting requirements may still need a broader logging solution depending on policy and operational needs.
Can it connect branches through VPN?
Yes. The platform supports IPsec VPN for site-to-site and client-to-gateway connectivity. Published figures include up to 200 gateway-to-gateway IPsec tunnels and 250 client-to-gateway IPsec tunnels. Actual design should consider encryption settings, traffic load, number of active tunnels and the performance required during peak periods.
What should I confirm before replacing an older firewall?
Document WAN settings, public IP addresses, NAT rules, VPN tunnels, VLANs, inbound services, DHCP scopes and authentication methods. Also record any dependencies for VoIP, CCTV, cloud platforms and printers. This information helps plan migration and reduces the chance that a hidden rule or service is missed during cutover.
What warranty and support details should I request?
Ask the quotation to identify the exact FortiCare level, FortiGuard bundle and service term. Warranty handling and technical support scope depend on the purchased package and applicable Fortinet terms. Keeping the exact SKU and term on the purchase record also makes future renewal planning much easier.
Can businesses request multiple units for branch rollout?
Yes. For a multi-site project, provide the number of branches, quantity, expected delivery schedule and whether all sites use the same WAN, LAN and VPN design. If subscriptions should start or renew together, mention that requirement during quotation planning so the commercial structure can be reviewed consistently.
What information should I send FourTeck for a quote?
Send the quantity, current firewall model, ISP speed, expected future speed, user and device count, number of sites, VPN requirements, security services needed, preferred support term, delivery location and whether configuration or migration assistance is required. These details make the quotation more useful and help confirm model suitability.
