Fortinet FortiManager Virtual Appliances
Centralized Management for Fortinet Security Networks

Highlights:

Administrative Domains (ADOMs) and Global Policy

Enables a primary administrator to create groups of devices for other administrators to monitor and manage

• Administrators can manage devices in their geographic location or business division
• Multiple FortiGate virtual domains (VDOMs) can be divided among multiple ADOMs
• Granular permissions allow assigning ADOMs and policies to particular users
• Administrators can only access devices or VDOMs assigned to them
• Create device configuration templates to quickly configure a new Fortinet appliance
• Within each ADOM, there is a common database of objects shared by all devices and policy packages allowing users to reuse similar configurations among a group of managed assets
• Global Policy capabilities are available on all FortiManager hardware models and virtual machines

JSON and XML (Web Services) APIs

• JSON API — Allows MSSPs/large enterprises to create customized, branded web portals for policy and object administration
• XML API — Enables administrators to automate common tasks such as provisioning new FortiGates and configuring existing devices
