Introduction
The intention of this reference architecture is to provide an overview of Fortinet SD-WAN solution, along with the components and architectures to satisfy common use cases. This document will cover the Fortinet technology involved in deploying various types of SD-WAN designs, along with considerations and best practices. Our intention is to design a highly scalable, redundant, and secure SD-WAN design that is practical for your organizational requirements.
This document is not intended to be an step-by-step configuration guide. Instead, it is meant to be the starting point in your network design, where you begin to draw out the architecture that will be used to meet your specific needs. Fortinet’s SD-WAN Deployment Guide will cover the how-to configuration for some of the common architectures and designs covered in this document.
