Welcome to the Fortinet FortiADC Ordering Guide. This guide is designed to help customers understand and navigate the various options available for deploying Fortinet's advanced Application Delivery Controller (ADC), which optimizes application delivery, enhances performance, and ensures application security.
FortiADC helps organizations integrate on-premises data centers with public cloud environments to optimize application performance, enhance scalability, and improve overall business agility. It offers robust L4-L7 load-balancing capabilities with scripting support, advanced SSL services (offloading and mirroring), application acceleration, application authentication, and built-in security features like Web Application Firewall (WAF) protection (including Adaptive Learning and OWASP Top10 Compliance), DDoS protection, and ZTNA. With flexible deployment options and integration into the Fortinet Security Fabric, FortiADC empowers businesses to deliver exceptional application experiences and security.
This guide outlines:
- Key Capabilities: FortiADC offers robust L4-L7 load-balancing capabilities with Scripting support, advanced SSL Services (Offloading and mirroring), application acceleration, application authentication, and built-in security features such as Web Application Firewall protection (e.g., Adaptive Learning, OWASP Top10 Compliance), and DDoS Protection.
- Deployment Options: FortiADC is available as an Appliance, Virtual Machine, Cloud, SaaS, and through FortiFlex.
- Supported Public Clouds: FortiADC can be deployed on public clouds including AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Alibaba Cloud, Oracle Cloud, and IBM Cloud.
FortiADC supports standard deployment requirements and is available in multiple form factors:
- Hardware appliances: FortiADC is available as physical appliances with different throughput combined with hardware-based SSL offloading. and scalability options, ranging from 3Gbps to 250Gbps. FortiADC appliances are suitable for organizations that require high-performance ADC solutions for their on-premises infrastructures.
- Virtual appliances: FortiADC can be deployed as virtual machines in virtualized environments, which offers flexibility, scalability, and cost-effectiveness. This option is ideal for organizations with virtualized or cloud-based infrastructures and is supported via Fortinet FortiFlex (https://www.fortinet.com/products/fortiflex) on-demand licensing and provisioning for security solutions and services for all environments.
- Cloud service: FortiADC is also available as a cloud-based service so that organizations can leverage ADC capabilities without needing hardware or software deployment. This option provides agility, scalability, and ease of management for cloud-native applications. It is also supported via FortiFlex.
