Fortinet expands solution set for Amazon Web Services
Fortinet has announced that it has increased its solution set for Amazon Web Services (AWS). The expansion has led to the inclusion of pay-as-you go licensing for its FortiGate-VM virtualized data center firewall. This solution from the house of Fortinet delivers enterprise customers with a reliable solution to secure their cloud-based workloads and meet compliance requirements. Fortinet provides AWS customers a broad security solution set, which includes its award-winning FortiGate network security appliances, FortiWeb web application firewalls, and FortiManager-VM and FortiAnalyzer-VM virtualized management and analysis systems.
Terry Hanold, vice president, cloud commerce, Amazon Web Services, Inc, said, “We are excited to have FortiGate-VM for AWS available via annual and hourly subscription on AWS Marketplace. Customers can easily and quickly purchase FortiGate-VM on AWS Marketplace to help provide additional layers of protection for their workloads running on AWS.”
The expanded offering lets customers consume FortiGate-VM in the same simple and flexible manner as they would with the AWS infrastructure itself when the service is procured via AWS Marketplace for on-demand delivery with integrated metering, billing and payments. A substantial benefit of the new on-demand, pay-as-you-go option is the ability to install and scale the solution to meet instant and growing security demands, while also sustaining predictable cost models. The new AWS Marketplace annual subscription options allow potential CAPEX savings of up to 40 percent when compared to hourly pricing over the same 12-month period.
