FortiGate-VMX is a specific security solution for VMware environments that provides purposebuilt integration for VMware's Software-Defined Data Center (SDDC) - encompassing interoperability with VMware NSX and vSphere. Through direct API-integration, FortiGate-VMX has visibility into and can secure virtualized network traffic at the hypervisor level. Automated deployment and management orchestration are used to secure workloads in dynamic software-defined networks and infrastructure to enable protection and close compliance gaps. With the initial release of the FortiGate-VM virtual appliance form factor in 2010, Fortinet paved a path of greater choice and flexibility to customers by providing the ability to deploy the security solutions within existing virtualized and Cloud infrastructure.
