Data Center and Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW) – Virtual Appliances

FortiGate virtual appliances provide next-generation firewall security and threat protection equivalent to FortiGate hardware appliances. Virtual appliances help reduce the data center’s footprint and increase IT agility for faster deployments in both on-premise data centers and off-premise cloud environments.

Through network virtualization in a VMware software-defined data center environment, FortiGate virtual appliances can be centrally managed and orchestrated to add advanced security functionality.

In a software-defined networking environment, like Cisco’s Application Centric Infrastructure, all traffic can be routed on-demand through FortiGate virtual and hardware appliances for advanced security inspection.

FortiGate offers the industry’s broadest virtualization and cloud platform support including:

Highlights

  • Software form factor delivers on-demand security agility
  • Flexible licensing and packaging eases heterogeneous datacenter deployment and cloud migration
  • Centralized management operationalizes consistent security policy updates
  • Rich set of RESTful and JSON APIs seamlessly bridges the end- to- end ecosystem integration
