Compatibility Matrix
| Hardware Model | Minimum OS Version | RAID Configuration Requirement | Release Date |
|---|---|---|---|
| FortiAnalyzer 800G | FortiOS 7.2.6 | RAID 10 (4x16TB NVMe) | August 15, 2025 |
| FortiAnalyzer 800G-XL | FortiOS 7.4.1 | RAID 6 (8x30TB SAS) | August 22, 2025 |
This build requires dual Intel Xeon Gold 6338 processors (32-core) or equivalent AMD EPYC 75F3 chipsets. Incompatible with legacy FAZ-800F appliances due to architectural differences in hardware security modules.
Known Limitations
- Does not support cross-generation log migration from FAZ-600E/700F series appliances
- Requires 64GB DDR5-4800 ECC RAM minimum for threat intelligence feed processing
- Temporary performance degradation observed during initial Zstandard recompression cycles (3-7 hours post-upgrade)
