The Tech Bytes podcast welcomes Fortinet to to discuss the universal nature of Fortinet hardware and software. One thing we haven’t covered enough is that the same FortiGate NGFW appliance includes networking capabilities as part of its FortiOS operating system.
That is, aside from performance and capacity considerations, each FortiGate appliance can be a NGFW, router, SD-WAN, wireless controller and ZTNA platform. Joining me to discuss how Fortinet makes this happen is Peter Newton, Senior Director of Products.
We discuss:
* How the FortiGate firewall supports additional networking features
* Getting routing and SD-WAN in the same appliance
* Simple licensing with FortiOS
* How Fortinet leverages its custom ASICs
* More
