Introduction

Introduction

The intention of this document is to define some of the common concepts, use cases, and terminology in the Fortinet Secure SD-WAN solution. Once we have defined what we aim to solve with SD-WAN, our next step is to design our network. The design portion is covered in the Fortinet SD-WAN Reference Architecture Guide, which covers the Fortinet technology involved in deploying various types of SD-WAN designs, along with considerations and best practices. Once we have defined and designed our network, our next step is to deploy. Fortinet’s SD-WAN Deployment Guide will cover the how-to configuration for some of the common architectures and designs covered in the Reference Architecture.

For more information and documentation about the topics covered in this document, please see the Fortinet Document Library at https://docs.fortinet.com.
