About FortiAnalyzer on OpenStack
This document provides information about deploying FortiAnalyzer-VM in an OpenStack environment. You can install FAZ-VM64-KVM firmware into an OpenStack environment.
This includes how to configure the virtual appliance's virtual hardware settings. This guide presumes that the reader has a thorough understanding of virtualization servers.
This document does not cover configuring and operating the virtual appliance after successfully installing and starting it. For that information, see the FortiAnalyzer Administration Guide.
OpenStack prerequisites
This guide assumes that before deploying the FortiAnalyzer-VM virtual appliance on the OpenStack virtual platform, you have addressed the following requirements:
-
The OpenStack software is installed on a physical server with sufficient resources to support the FortiAnalyzer-VM and all other VMs that you deploy on the platform. See Minimum system requirements.
-
Ensure you have access to the OpenStack Horizon web interface from the computer you are uploading the image from. Alternatively, ensure you have a working environment for the OpenStack CLI.
See the following for OpenStack release series support: https://releases.openstack.org/
Licensing
Fortinet offers the FortiAnalyzer-VM with a limited, free trial license. Stackable licenses can be purchased, letting you expand your VM solution as your environment expands. You can purchase perpetual or subscription-based licenses. Perpetual licenses never expire.
For information on purchasing a FortiAnalyzer-VM license, contact your Fortinet-authorized reseller, or visit How To Buy.
When configuring your FortiAnalyzer-VM, ensure that you configure hardware settings acording to the minimum system requirements and consider future expansion. Contact your Fortinet-authorized reseller for more information.
