Deploy simple, secure, and scalable connectivity from your branch (edge) locations to Azure cloud and between the branch (edge) locations using FortiGate-VM SD-WAN network virtual appliances (NVA) in an Azure virtual WAN hub. This integrated solution offers customers the following benefits:
- Connects their FortiGate CPE appliance to a FortiGate-VM NVA in the virtual hub and takes advantage of proprietary end-to-end SD-WAN capabilities when connecting to Azure workloads.
- Configures the FortiGate-VM NVA automatically as part of the deployment process.
- You can easily do any additional configuration for the FortiGate-VM via the FortiManager application that provides uniform management across Azure and on-premise deployments.
You can choose one of the following scale unit values when deploying FortiGate NVAs. (See Deploying FortiGate NVAs in vWAN hub.) Higher scale units are available for increased bandwidth requirements. A specific FortiGate virtual machine license is recommended for each scale unit value.
The following table summarizes FortiGate vWAN license options:

Scale units cannot change dynamically. If you want to use a different scale unit after deploying the NVAs, you must redeploy the NVAs. |
Deployment requires the following:
- Two full FortiGate licenses if using bring your own license (BYOL) or FortiFlex. Alternatively, you can select pay as you go (PAYG) during deployment.
- One fully licensed FortiManager instance (PAYG or BYOL)
You can obtain licenses for the BYOL licensing model through any Fortinet partner. If you do not have a partner, contact azuresales@fortinet.com for assistance in purchasing a license.
