Highlights:

Application Availability

Applications are the lifeblood of a company’s online presence. Unresponsive applications can result in lost revenue and customers taking their future business elsewhere. Application performance, scalability, and resilience are key but none of this matters unless the end-user has a good experience and completes their transaction.

FortiADC is a dedicated Application Delivery Control solution that provides a multi-tenancy solution (VDOM), high availability, and scalability with hybrid solution deployment (on-premises and cloud offering) to your applications.

SSL Security

FortiADC delivers high capacity decryption and encryption with the latest cryptography standard using hardware-based SSL ASIC. FortiADC provides SSL offloading, SSL inspection and visibility to inspect traffic for threats, speeds up server response, and reduces the load on the backend server. FortiADC also integrates with Gemalto’s SafeNet Enterprise Hardware Security Module (HSM).

Business Continuity

FortiADC’s included Global Server Load Balancing (GSLB) module onprem or in the cloud (FortiGSLB Cloud) makes your network reliable and available by scaling applications across multiple data centers for disaster recovery or to improve application response times. Customers can set up rules based on site availability, data center performance, and network latency

Application Protection

FortiADC offers multiple levels of protection to defend against attacks that target your web applications. FortiADC Web Application Firewall can detect a zero day attack and protect from OWASP Top-10 and many other threats with multi-vector protection. FortiADC also supports our FortiGuard Cloud which provides multi services such as IPS, Antivirus, and IP Reputation service (subscription required) that protects you from sources associated with DoS/DDoS attacks, phishing schemes, spammers, malicious software, and botnets.

Application Optimization

FortiADC provides multiple services that speed the delivery of applications to users. The PageSpeed suite of website performance enhancement tools can automatically optimize HTTP, CSS, Javascript, and image delivery to application users. FortiADC also provides Dynamic Caching and HTTP Compression and Decompression to improve end-user experience and server productivity.

FortiADC Security Fabric

As the threat landscape evolves, many new risks require a multipronged approach for protecting applications. FortiADC’s antivirus and integration with FortiSandbox extend basic security protections to scan file attachments for known and unknown threats.

Automation and Connectors

FortiADC Fabric Connectors provide open API-based integration and orchestration with multiple software-defined networks (SDN), cloud, management, and partner technology platforms. Fortinet Fabric Connectors deliver turnkey, open, and deep integration into third party services such as K8s, AWS, OCI, and SAP, in multi-vendor ecosystems, enabling scalability, security automation, and simplified management.

Unleash the Power of Scripts

FortiADC Scripts provides the flexibility to create custom eventdriven rules using predefined commands, variables, and operators. Using easy-to-create scripts, you get the flexibility you need to extend your FortiADC with specialized business rules that give you almost unlimited possibilities for server load balancing, health checks, application validation, content routing, and content rewriting to meet the needs of your organization.

Application Authentication

FortiADC provides centralized user authentication and authorization services to web applications. FortiADC acts as a gatekeeper to offload HTTP authentication and authorization to customer applications using single sign-on (SSO) services, SAML, LDAP, RADIUS, and MFA (using FortiToken Cloud and Google authenticator).

WAN Optimization

FortiADC provides a built-in link optimization with the Link Load Balancing module. Customers can create two or more WAN links (for inbound and outbound Link LB) to reduce the risk of outages or to add additional bandwidth to relieve traffic congestion.

Analytics and Visibility

FortiADC offers a comprehensive monitoring system for your network and application. With FortiView, customers can get real-time and historical data into a single view on your FortiADC. We also provide a network logical topology of real-servers, user/application dataanalytics, security threats, attack maps, and some other system events and alerts. FortiADC is integrated with third party solutions such as Splunk, FortiAnalyzer, and FortiSIEM for more visibility, correlation, automated response, and remediation.

FortiADC Centralized Management

FortiADC Manager is a web-based management tool that allows you to centrally manage multiple FortiADC devices remotely. Network administrators can better control their devices by logically grouping devices, efficiently managing jobs and licenses, quickly checking various logs, and monitoring threat statistics in real time.
