Flexible and Scalable
Fortinet virtual appliances can scale quickly to meet demand and protect intra-virtual machine communications by implementing critical security controls. 

FortiGate security appliances have won numerous awards and recognition, including multiple NSS Labs' Recommended ratings and SC Magazine Awards for Best Network Security Solution and Best Integrated Security Solution. FortiGate-VM virtual appliances feature all of the security and networking services common to traditional hardware-based FortiGate appliances, including government certifications. In September 2013, Fortinet announced FortiGate-VM earned Common Criteria EAL 4+ Certification for FortiOS 4.3-VM. The Common Criteria certification process is a third-party evaluation service for determining the trustworthiness of information technology security products, which is fundamentally important to the company's enterprise and government customers.

Users can deploy a mix of hardware and virtual appliances in clouds and virtualized internal data centers, operating together and managed from a common centralized management platform. With increasing support for AWS environments, users deploying AWS instances into Amazon EC2 or Amazon VPC can maintain corporate standards for security and compliance in the cloud.

"AWS is a global leader in IT infrastructure services with many enterprise and government agencies utilizing its services. As such, it is essential that Fortinet provides the same enterprise class network security on the AWS cloud as we do for core and edge networks," said John Maddison, vice president of marketing for Fortinet. "We have a number of customers who have requested we port FortiGate-VM onto AWS, and we're happy report that the technology is ready today."
