FortiDeploy™

Zero-touch Bulk Provisioning Solution

FortiDeploy is a mechanism built into FortiCloud™

that allows for simplified import and provisioning of
any quantity of devices. It allows the user to deploy
local or remote installed FortiGates and FortiAPs
to their preferred management interface with a few
clicks of the mouse.

How it Works Highlights

When a customer includes FortiDeploy on their order, they will receive
a single bulk deployment key tied to all supported devices within that
order. When the customer then visits FortiCloud.com, they can enter §§ Onboard any number of devices with a
any individual FortiCloud key, or the single bulk FortiDeploy FortiCloud single key entry
key sent with their order. Upon entering a FortiDeploy bulk key, the §§ Works across various Fortinet devices,
full list of device serial numbers will be listed on FortiCloud.com. As with capability to mix FortiGates and
devices at remote locations are plugged in, they automatically obtain FortiAPs in a single deployment key
an IP address via DHCP. These devices then ‘call home’ to FortiCloud.
From there, the device will receive the customer’s preconfigured
management choice for their devices. This includes sending a
FortiManager IP or adding devices directly into FortiCloud for
management. When this process is complete, the devices can be
monitored and managed from the chosen management interface.

FortiDeploy is a feature in FortiCloud that is able to quickly onboard FortiAP wireless access points
and FortiGate firewalls from a centralized, cloud-based management console.
