Introduction

A cloud-based SaaS endpoint management service called FortiClient Cloud is available. This is a Fortinet-hosted EMS solution.

You can execute EMS functions from the cloud-based EMS. You must complete the following steps to create a cloud-based EMS instance under your FortiCloud user account:

1. Register a FortiClient Cloud subscription to your FortiCloud account.
2. Register a FortiClient license contract for management by FortiClient Cloud to your FortiCloud account.

You can use FortiClient Cloud to manage and provision up to 50000 FortiClient endpoints. You must use an on-premise EMS to manage more than 50000 endpoints.

You can use FortiClient Cloud to manage the following FortiClient endpoint types:

• Windows
• macOS
• Linux
• iOS
• Android
• Chromebook

FortiClient Cloud 22.1 is running EMS 7.0.

This guide only provides information specific to FortiClient Cloud. For information about EMS features that this guide does not include, see the EMS Administration Guide.
