“V” Series VMs do not include VDOM licenses by default. VDOM licenses can be added separately.
Actual performance may vary depending on the network and system configuration. Performance metrics were observed using a DELL R740 (CPU Intel Xeon Platinum 8168 2.7 GHz, Intel X710 network adapters), running FOS v5.6.3. Tested with VMware vSphere 6.5 Enterprise Plus. SR-IOV is enabled.
FortiGate NGFW is available in many different models to meet your needs ranging from entry-level hardware appliances to ultra high-end appliances to meet the most demanding threat protection performance requirements. This ensures that enterprise campus, core data-center, or internal segments, FortiGate can fit seamlessly into your environment.
Broad Protection for Multi-Cloud Infrastructures and Applications
As public cloud adoption accelerates, organizations are increasingly reliant on cloud-based services and infrastructures. Yet, organizations often end up with a heterogeneous set of technologies in use, with disparate security controls in various cloud environments. FortiGate-VM provides broad protection across cloud infrastructure, enabling applications security and secure connectivity among cloud networks, different clouds, and users accessing the cloud. FortiGate-VM has native integration of security capabilities with public cloud platforms and leverages cloud automation services for ease of deployment.
Fortinet secures applications and workloads in public clouds to ensure privacy and confidentiality while leveraging the cloud benefits of scalability, metering, and time-to-market. FortiGate cloud connector provides container-aware security by enabling awareness of container labels when defining security policies. FortiGate-VM, in concert with other elements of the Security Fabric, enables common deployment scenarios such as cloud security services hub, cloud workload protection, secure remote access, container security, and web application security.
Native integration into your cloud provider
Built for the cloud, FortiGate-VM is available in all major cloud providers.
Secure Your Virtualized Data Center and Private Cloud
Virtualization and SDN security are rapidly transforming data centers into agile, innovative, software-defined, and cost-effective private clouds. Unlike public clouds, organizations are responsible for managing all aspects of the virtualization, compute, networking, and security. FortiGate-VM protects private cloud infrastructure using application-centric security policies to protect the private cloud and the data within that cloud for a variety of use cases such as North-South L7 security protection, East-West Security Protection, Form Factor consolidation, Virtual CPE for NFVs and security for the telco cloud via VNFs. It provides broad eco-system system integration by supporting all major hypervisors including Nutanix, KVM, Hyper-V, Nutanix, VMware and orchestration systems including VMware NSX-T, OpenStack, Nuage Networks.
Native integration into your private cloud and virtualization platforms
Built for the cloud, FortiGate-VM is available on all private cloud platforms.
Securing Carrier Infrastructure with High Performing FortiGate VNF
For virtualized service provider infrastructures, Fortinet offers a broad range of next-generation virtual firewalls virtualized network functions (VNFs). Powered by Fortinet’s Virtual SPU Technology, FortiGate VNFs deliver significant increases in application and carrier security performance through innovative security processing optimizations and the latest packet processing acceleration technologies. The FortiGate NGFW VNFs provide comprehensive network security capabilities along with deep application visibility and control.
These VNFs also have a small footprint, boot within seconds, and require less storage, enabling service providers to protect their virtual networks and cloud platforms cost effectively. In addition, for the efficient and agile deployment and utilization of these security VNFs, Fortinet delivers integrations with NFV platforms and SDN vendors.
