FortiGate management
FortiGate in FortiCloud is managed with the following services:
FortiGate Cloud
FortiGate Cloud is an ideal way for a wide range of customers to easily add simplified cloud management to FortiGate based sites, whether a single campus or SD-Branch, or a highly distributed business with many sites. It is specifically aimed at sites utilizing SMB to mid-size FortiGate models, typically a FortiGate 40-200. A multi-tenant option is available, typically used by MSSPs who service such customers.
With a FortiGate Cloud account, you get:
-
Simple and secure remote management of FortiGates and all downstream Fortinet devices, including FortiAPs, FortiSwitches, and FortiExtenders.
-
One year of hosted log storage.
-
Analytics, both on-demand and scheduled reporting.
-
Zero-touch provisioning using FortiDeploy.
-
Automation options, including:
-
Run and schedule CLI scripts across one or multiple FortiGates.
-
Cloud REST API.
-
Automatic backups (stored in the cloud).
-
-
Integrated FortiSandbox for zero-day threat detection.
-
Optional integrated Indicator of Compromise (IOC) service.
FortiGate Cloud is the solution for adding cloud advantages to FortiGate and Fortinet Security-Driven Networking for small and midsize enterprises.
See the FortiGate Cloud documentation for more information.
FortiManager Cloud
FortiManager Cloud brings a cloud version of our flagship management tool, FortiManager, to our FortiCloud suite for centralized management. FortiManager Cloud is ideal for enterprise customers using high-end FortiGates (including any FortiAPs, FortiSwitches, and FortiExtenders managed by them) who need maximum automation and control across multiple sites. FortiManager Cloud supports a single ADOM (Administrative Domain) and is best suited to single enterprise customers, as MSSPs will usually want to host their own instances of multi-ADOM FortiManager.
Choose FortiManager Cloud when:
-
A single ADOM works.
-
FortiGates are typically top-end models.
-
The highest level of remote automation is needed.
-
Configurations across multiple FortiGates are very repetitive.
-
Analytics across a network, rather than per site, are needed.
