Fortinet SD-WAN Connector for FortiSASE Secure Private Access for FortiGate-VM32V - Subscription license renewal (3 years) - 32 vCPU cores
As the use of business-critical, cloud-based applications continues to increase, organizations with a distributed infrastructure of remote offices and an expanding remote workforce need to adapt. The effective solution is to switch from static, performance-inhibited wide-area networks (WANs) to software-defined WAN (SD-WAN) architectures. Traditional WANs may utilize SLA-backed private multiprotocol label switching (MPLS) or leased line links to an organizations' main data centers for all application and security needs. But that comes at a premium price for connectivity. While a legacy hub-and-spoke architecture may provide centralized protection, it increases latency and slows down network performance to distributed cloud services for application access and compute. The result is operational complexity and limited visibility associated with multiple point products. This scenario adds significant management overhead and difficulties, especially when trying to troubleshoot and resolve issues.
Fortinet's Secure Networking strategy tightly integrates an organization's network infrastructure and security architecture, enabling networks to transform at scale without compromising security. This next-generation approach provides consistent security enforcement across flexible perimeters by combining a next-generation firewall with advanced SD-WAN networking capabilities. This combination paves the way to Fortinet Single-Vendor SASE approach empowering organizations to consistently apply enterprise grade security and superior user experience across all edges converging networking and security across a unified operating system and agent. FortiSASE extends FortiGuard security services across Thin Edge, Secure Edge, and remote users enabling secure access to users both on and off the network. Furthermore, infrastructure networks are simplified by extending SD-WAN into wired and wireless access points of branch offices.
