FortiManager and FortiAnalyzer: enterprise design that lasts

FortiGate alone scales to small fleets. FMG+FAZ is the difference between dozens of devices and hundreds operated as one.

ADOM strategy

• Per-business-unit ADOM beats per-site for policy reuse.
• Workflow mode for change approval.

Policy packages

• Header/footer policies for global guardrails.
• Per-site differences via dynamic objects.

FortiAnalyzer

• Collector + analyzer roles in large deployments.
• Disk sized for 12+ months hot logs.

HA

• FMG/FAZ HA cluster active-passive.
• Backups out of cluster — restorable independently.

Integration

• FortiSOC playbooks consume FAZ logs.
• SIEM forwarding via syslog/CEF.
