FORTINET® ANALYSIS & MANAGEMENT
In addition to the web-based management and reporting built into all appliances, Fortinet offers centralized management, logging, and reporting solutions for any size deployment. FortiManager™ appliances provide coordinated policy-based provisioning, device configuration, update management, and end-to-end network monitoring and device control for all FortiGate® appliances. FortiAnalyzer™ appliances securely aggregate log data from Fortinet appliances, FortiClient end-point security agents and syslog-compatible products for real-time and historical logging, analysis, and reporting. The hosted, subscription-based FortiGuard® Analysis and Management Service enables customers with smaller deployments or limited resources to enjoy many of the same features offered by the FortiManager and FortiAnalyzer appliances.

FortiManager appliances
The FortiManager family of management appliances provides centralized policy-based provisioning, device configuration, and update management for FortiGate, FortiWiFi, and FortiMail appliances, and FortiClient end-point security agents, plus end-to-end network monitoring and device control. FortiManager delivers a lower TCO for Fortinet implementations by minimizing both initial deployment costs and ongoing operating expenses. Control administrative access and simplify policy deployment using role-based administration to define user privileges for specific management domains and functions, and aggregating collections of Fortinet appliances and agents into independent management domains. In addition, by locally hosting security content updates for managed devices and agents, FortiManager appliances minimize Web filtering rating request response time and maximize network protection.
FortiAnalyzer appliances
The FortiAnalyzer family of real-time event logging, analyzing, and reporting appliances securely aggregate log data from Fortinet devices and other syslog-compatible devices. Using a comprehensive suite of easily-customized reports, you can filter and review these records, including traffic, event, virus, attack, Web content, and email data, and mine them to analyze your security stance and assure regulatory compliance. FortiAnalyzer also provides advanced security management functions such as quarantine file archiving, event correlation, vulnerability assessments, traffic analysis, and archiving of email, Web access, instant messaging and file transfer content.
