Secure and automated intra-site connectivity

As businesses look towards supplementing or replacing their traditional MPLS or private links, the need for secure transport connectivity over public internet becomes essential. For customers that have business applications in a datacenter or HQ location, branch locations require remote connectivity to access these resources. For redundancy, there may be multiple WAN transports and multiple gateways across geo-redundant locations that could be used to access the resource. This leads to many potential paths from the edge that must be evaluated and steered accordingly.

The Fortinet SD-WAN solution can be used to automatically set up dynamic, site-to-site connections across all corporate resources and locations. This may include branch offices, HQ sites, datacenters, or public cloud providers. FortiGate SD-WAN appliances can be configured at any location as a physical or virtual device to provide connectivity and intelligent steering across all available WAN links.

FortiManager is our central management solution that can provide light touch or zero touch provisioning to onboard new locations, and provide centralized management and monitoring. This means you can choose how much to automate during the onboarding process.
