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 the following benefits:
- Connect FortiGate CPE appliance to a FortiGate-VM NVA in the virtual hub and take advantage of proprietary end-to-end SD-WAN capabilities when connecting to Azure workloads
- Configure the FortiGate-VM NVA automatically as part of the deployment process
- The customer 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 a 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.
