Security, Performance, and Manageability

The FortiSwitch 1000 and 3000 Series Data Center Aggregation Switches are part of the FortiSwitch Secure Access Family, delivering the security, performance, and management capabilities required for demanding enterprise and data center network environments.

FortiSwitch integrates directly with the Fortinet Security Fabric through FortiLink, allowing compatible switches to be managed through the familiar FortiGate interface.

This single-pane-of-glass management approach provides centralized visibility and control over users and devices across the network, regardless of how they connect.

Designed for High-Speed Network Environments

The FortiSwitch 1000 and 3000 Series are designed for high-bandwidth environments that require fast Ethernet connectivity and a high-throughput network backbone.

With access speeds including 10 Gigabit Ethernet and 40 Gigabit Ethernet, these switches are suitable for applications such as:

• Top-of-Rack server connectivity
• Firewall aggregation
• Data center aggregation
• Enterprise network core
• Backbone network deployments

This makes the series suitable for organizations that require high-speed switching across both data center and enterprise network environments.

FortiSwitch FS-1024E

The FortiSwitch FS-1024E provides high-speed fiber connectivity for data center and aggregation environments.

Ports

The switch includes:

• 48 x GE/10GE SFP/SFP+ slots
• 6 x 40GE QSFP+ ports

Or:

• 4 x 100GE QSFP28 ports

This configuration provides flexible high-speed connectivity for environments requiring larger numbers of fiber connections and high-capacity aggregation links.

FortiSwitch FS-3032E

The FortiSwitch FS-3032E provides high-density 100 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity for demanding data center and backbone networks.

Ports

The switch provides:

• 32 x 100GE QSFP28 ports

This configuration provides the highest-speed port density listed among the FortiSwitch 1000 and 3000 Series models on the page.

High-Speed Data Center and Network Aggregation

The FortiSwitch 1000 and 3000 Series provide high-performance switching for data center, server, firewall aggregation, enterprise core, and backbone network environments.

With connectivity ranging from Gigabit and multi-gigabit Ethernet to 10GE, 40GE, and 100GE, the series gives organizations several options for building high-throughput network infrastructures.

Integration with FortiLink and the Fortinet Security Fabric also provides centralized visibility and management through the FortiGate interface, helping organizations combine high-speed network connectivity with unified security management.
