FortiGate SD-WAN solution

Software-defined WAN (SD-WAN) is a networking technology that allows organizations to simplify the deployment and management of their WAN (Wide Area Network) infrastructure. By using software to manage WAN connections, organizations can reduce costs, increase performance, and improve network security.

Fortinet's FortiGate SD-WAN solution combines the benefits of SD-WAN with advanced security features to provide a comprehensive solution for organizations looking to secure their WAN connections. The solution includes features such as centralized management, dynamic path selection, application-based routing, and WAN optimization.

Centralized management allows administrators to configure and manage multiple branch office sites from a single location, reducing the complexity of managing a large WAN. 

Dynamic path selection uses real-time metrics to determine the best path for traffic, ensuring that applications are always using the most efficient and reliable connection.

Application-based routing allows administrators to prioritize and steer specific applications, such as voice and video, over specific links to ensure their quality. 

WAN optimization uses techniques such as data deduplication, compression, and caching to reduce the amount of data that needs to be transmitted over the WAN, improving performance and reducing costs.

In addition to these features, Fortinet's FortiGate SD-WAN solution also integrates with other Fortinet products, such as FortiGate firewalls and FortiAnalyzer network security log and analysis devices, to provide a comprehensive network security solution.

Overall, Fortinet's FortiGate SD-WAN solution offers organizations a cost-effective, secure, and scalable solution for managing their WAN infrastructure. By combining the benefits of SD-WAN with advanced security features, organizations can simplify their WAN deployment and management while ensuring the security of their critical applications and data.
