FORTIMANAGER™-100 CENTRALIZED MANAGEMENT APPLIANCE

FortiManager-100 appliances supply the tools needed to effectively manage Fortinet security infrastructure. The appliances provide centralized policy-based provisioning, configuration, and update management for FortiGate, FortiWiFi, and FortiMail appliances, as well as FortiClient end point security agents. They also offer end-to-end network monitoring for added control.

FortiManager-100 appliances deliver a lower TCO for Fortinet implementations by minimizing both initial deployment costs and ongoing operating expenses. Managers can control administrative access and simplify policy deployment using role-based administration to define user privileges for specific management domains and functions by aggregating collections of Fortinet appliances and agents into independent management domains. By locally hosting security content updates for managed devices and agents, FortiManager appliances minimize Web filtering rating request response time and maximize network protection.

FortiManager-100 Benefits

  • Support for up to 10 appliances or virtual domains (VDOMs) and 2,500 FortiClient agents from a single appliance for efficient command and control of managed devices and agents.
  • Minimizes initial deployment and ongoing operating expenses of Fortinet security infrastructures.
  • Faster provisioning of new devices and agents, as well as efficient management of security policies across groups of assets reduces management burden and operational costs.
  • Detailed revision tracking increases visibility and auditing capabilities.
  • Easily manage complex mesh and star VPN environments.
  • Seamless integration with FortiAnalyzer appliances delivers in-depth discovery, analysis, prioritization, and reporting of network security events.

As an incubator, we have a shared services environment but that doesn't mean that we want everything, such as intellectual property, between our customers shared. It was therefore critical that we have a solution to securely partition each customer's network but still allow for shared resources such as printers and Internet access. Fortinet's FortiGate systems enabled us to achieve this by virtualizing network security, which also helped free-up network bandwidth and increase our network performance.
