Intended audience

This design guide has primarily been created for a technical audience, including system architects and design engineers, who want to deploy and configure Fortinet Secure SD-Branch, or even extend their current Fortinet Secure SD-WAN offering.

It assumes the reader is familiar with the basic concepts of applications, networking, routing, security, and high availability and has a basic understanding of network and datacenter architectures. For implementation, a working knowledge of FortiOS networking and policy configuration is ideal.
