John Maddison, senior vice president of products and
solutions at Fortinet“Enterprises are increasingly
adopting hybrid cloud architectures, integrating on-premises
private clouds with advanced public cloud resources to take
advantage of the scale and performance benefits, yet consistent
security is a top priority. VMware and Fortinet have a
long-standing relationship delivering virtualized security for
software-defined data centers, and today we are extending our
collaboration to VMware Cloud on AWS customers to provide the
security control, visibility and segmentation capabilities required
to seamlessly transition to hybrid cloud environments.”
News SummaryFortinet® (NASDAQ:FTNT), the global
leader in high-performance cybersecurity solutions, today announced
that its FortiGate Virtual Machine (VM) is available to customers
of VMware Cloud™ on AWS.
- Launched today with initial availability in AWS US West Region
(Oregon), VMware Cloud on AWS brings together VMware’s
enterprise-class Software-Defined Data Center (SDDC) software and
elastic, bare-metal infrastructure from Amazon Web Services (AWS)
to give organizations a consistent operating model and application
mobility for private and public cloud.
- The FortiGate VM enables an existing VMware-based private cloud
to securely extend to the public cloud with site-to-site
connectivity, cross-cloud segmentation, and consistent security
policies for customers of VMware Cloud on AWS.
Seamlessly Extend Security Policy Visibility with
FortiGate VM on VMware Cloud on AWSAs enterprises
transition to hybrid cloud infrastructure, 51-percent of recent
survey respondents indicate that security remains a top challenge.
FortiGate VMs provide VMware Cloud on AWS users with a combination
of advanced threat intelligence from FortiGuard Labs with the
industry leading security operating system, FortiOS, delivering
complete security control, workload visibility and management
across physical, virtual and cloud environments. Enterprises can
now move workloads from the data center to the AWS public cloud
securely without jeopardizing policy visibility.
Fortinet virtualized security has long been available to global
enterprises and service providers running VMware vSphere, providing
visibility into east-west traffic in virtualized data centers and
private clouds. With FortiGate VM for VMware Cloud on AWS,
organizations can expand their on-premise network to AWS with
secure site-to-site VPN connectivity and Fortinet Security Fabric
visibility capabilities for application mobility. Organizations can
ensure that an application running on vSphere has the same security
posture throughout the hybrid cloud, regardless of whether the
application is on-premises or in VMware Cloud on AWS, while
providing proper segmentation of users and data between clouds.
VMware Cloud on AWS technology partners enable customers to
deploy the same proven solutions seamlessly in both the public and
private cloud. VMware simplifies the deployment and eliminates the
need for partners to refactor solutions for VMware Cloud on AWS. If
a partner solution works on-premises in a VMware vSphere®
environment, it will easily support VMware Cloud on AWS. VMware
technology partners complement and enhance native VMware Cloud on
AWS service and enable customers to realize new capabilities.
