Virtual Appliances

Consolidated Security for Virtual Environments

FortiGate virtual appliances allow you to mitigate blind spots by implementing critical

security controls within your virtual infrastructure. They also allow you to rapidly

provision security infrastructure whenever and wherever it is needed. Moreover,

FortiGate virtual appliances feature all of the security and networking services common

to traditional hardware-based FortiGate appliances. With the addition of virtual

appliances from Fortinet, you can deploy a mix of hardware and virtual appliances,

operating together and managed from a common centralized management platform.

Proven Success in Virtual Environments

Fortinet introduced Virtual Domain (VDOM) technology in 2004. Since that time, we

have offered virtualized security to service providers and enterprises alike. With the

addition of the virtual appliance form factor, Fortinet now offers greater choice and

flexibility to customers by providing the ability to deploy our security solution within an

existing virtualized infrastructure.
