Available on-premises and in the cloud, Fortinet Secure SD-WAN provides fast and scalable connectivity, ensuring rapid data transfer and minimal latency. It is a flexible solution, offering on-premises deployment for organizations with specific compliance requirements or those who prefer to manage their own hardware.
It supports various enterprise environments, including cloud-first, security-sensitive and global enterprises, and hybrid workforces. FortiGate consolidates the SD-WAN, Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW), advanced routing protocols and Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) Application Gateway and other multiple functionalities into a unified operating system, enabling efficient and reliable data transmission across the network.
Fortinet Secure SD-WAN is a reliable option for contemporary, dispersed networks that are becoming more prevalent these days. Thanks to its features below, it provides excellent security, performance and manageability.
Fortinet SD-WAN guarantees that your applications continue functioning at their best across all WAN transport types, including broadband, Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS), Long Term Evolution (LTE), and even satellite. With its automatic failover and load balancing feature, network traffic is smoothly redirected to another path should one fail or become congested, without affecting the user experience.
Fortinet integrates routing features with the most sophisticated Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW) capabilities, such as threat prevention and effective data routing management, providing always-on security whether traffic is moving within your network or out to the Internet.
Fortinet's WAN-specific Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) offers a hardware acceleration feature that enables scaling the SD-WAN, i.e., adding more users and devices, without compromising network performance, making it perfect for expanding businesses.
The capability of Fortinet NGFWs to integrate to a multitude of security solutions improves threat response and the network security as a whole.
Fortinet’s Multi-Cloud On-Ramp feature enhances the cloud experience by decreasing latency and accelerating data transfer rates, regardless of the environment, be it public, private, or hybrid clouds. Thanks to this, high-performance and secure connectivity to, within and among different cloud services is possible.ss
Fortinet NGFWs ensure precise network access and policy control, with their in-depth network traffic monitoring and management feature, depending on the applications.
Zero-Touch Provisioning offers easier and faster deployment of Fortinet Secure SD-WAN across multiple locations. Without requiring on-site technical knowledge, devices can be shipped to their destinations already configured and ready for setup, reducing deployment time and cost.
With a unified console, you can manage deployments, configurations, and day-to-day operations while having network-wide visibility and analytics. Centralized orchestration makes managing your SD-WAN simpler and more efficient. This warrants improved network control, streamlined troubleshooting, and improved performance.
