Fortinet, the global cybersecurity company, has expanded its services portfolio with two new SD-WAN services.
Chief Marketing Officer and EVP, Product Strategy at Fortinet, John Maddison said, “At Fortinet, we empower IT teams to simplify operations and enhance user experience by addressing today’s most pressing SD-WAN pain points. Our new services make SD-WAN more accessible to organisations with limited resources, offloading the technical expertise of setting up, configuring, maintaining, and running an SD-WAN network to Fortinet experts.”
Fortinet is introducing an Underlay Performance Monitoring Service for SD-WAN To support IT teams in achieving operational efficiency while simultaneously enhancing the user experience. Enabled by FortiManager and FortiGuard’s database of hundreds of popular SaaS and cloud designations, this service offers centralised visibility into the underlay performance of the entire network, facilitating the sorting and reporting of ISP link performance.
This empowers IT teams to swiftly prioritise network traffic and efficiently address operational issues. This service features a full suite of underlay monitoring capabilities.
Every organisation is unique, with varying sizes and objectives. While some may operate with only a few sites, others could have a vast network spanning thousands of locations. Because of this, it’s imperative for provisioning solutions to adapt to the specific requirements of each organisation, including their goals, budget, and IT resources.
Fortinet’s new Overlay-as-a-Service offering for SD-WAN is purpose-built for lean organisations with limited technical expertise and constrained budgets.
This solution facilitates rapid deployment and seamless interconnection of locations within minutes, eliminating the need for self-hosting or a dedicated hub.
Instead, setup and management are efficiently handled through FortiCloud, a cloud-hosted service. This approach significantly reduces deployment time and associated costs while also alleviating the burden of hosting and management expenses.
By embracing Overlay-as-a-Service, organisations with limited resources can enjoy the benefits of an effective secure networking solution without compromising performance or breaking their budget.
