FortiManager centralized management appliances deliver the essential tools needed to effectively manage your Fortinet-based security infrastructure. Device discovery, group management, auditing facilities, and the ability to manage complex mesh and star VPN environments are just of a few of the time-saving features that FortiManager appliances offer. Complemented by the FortiAnalyzer centralized logging and reporting appliance, the FortiManager appliance is a comprehensive and powerful centralized management solution for your organization.
FortiManager appliances scale to manage thousands of Fortinet devices and agents. Groups of devices and agents, along with their administrators, form the FortiManager concept of Administration Domains (ADOMs). Within an ADOM, an administrator has the ability to create policy packages, folders, and objects which can be shared between all the FortiGate devices in the local ADOM. In the Global ADOM of FortiManager, global policies and objects can also be assigned and applied to sub ADOMs. Whether you are managing one or one thousand ADOMs, FortiManager appliances always provide effective and efficient management of your Fortinet assets.
