FortiGate-VM: the same firewall, virtual.
FortiGate-VM runs the same FortiOS as the hardware appliances, virtualised for your private cloud or public cloud. You get full next-gen firewall, SD-WAN, VPN, and IPS in a software instance you deploy on your hypervisor or in AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and more. Licensing is by virtual CPU, so you size it to the workload and scale as you grow.

FortiGate-VM performance depends on the virtual CPUs and host you assign. We size the licence to your workload.
Why virtual FortiGate.
When a physical appliance is not the right fit, the VM gives you the same protection.
One FortiOS everywhere
Manage virtual and physical FortiGates the same way in the Security Fabric, with the same policies and features.
Scales with the host
Performance scales with the vCPUs and host you assign, so you can right-size and grow without new hardware.
Cloud-native options
Deploy from cloud marketplaces with pay-as-you-go billing, or bring your own licence for predictable cost.
