    SD-WAN

    SD-WAN

    The Fortinet Secure software-defined wide area network (SD-WAN) solution is an application-aware, multi-path WAN solution with integrated NGFW security.

    SD-WAN is a virtual interface that consists of a group of member interfaces that can be connected to different link types. The FortiGate groups all physical member interfaces into a single virtual interface, which is the SD-WAN interface. SD-WAN simplifies your network configuration because you configure a single set of routes and firewall policies and apply them to all member interfaces. You also configure various types of criteria that the FortiGate then uses to select the best links for your network traffic.

    One of the main motivators for deploying SD-WAN is effective WAN use with multiple WAN links, where you can use various load balancing algorithms, such as bandwidth usage, sessions, and application-aware routing, to ensure high availability for your business-critical applications.
