Description
The FortiADC family of application delivery controllers (ADC) optimizes the availability, user experience, performance and scalability of enterprise application delivery.

An ADC is like an advanced server load balancer. An ADC routes traffic to available destination servers based on health checks and load-balancing algorithms; full-featured ADC like FortiADC also improve application performance by assuming some of the server task load. Server tasks that can be handled by the FortiADC appliance include SSL encryption/decryption, WAF protection, Gzip compression, and routing processes, such as NAT.

Features

FortiADC uses Layer 4 and Layer 7 session information to enable an ADC policy and management framework for:

Server load balancing

Link load balancing

Global load balancing

Security

The FortiADC family includes physical appliances and virtual appliances.

Scope

This Training describes how to use the web user interface to:

Get started with your deployment.

Configure feature options.

Configure network and system settings.

Monitor the system.

Troubleshoot issues.

Server load balancing

Server load balancing (SLB) features are designed to give you flexible options for maximizing performance of your backend servers.

Link load balancing

Link load balancing (LLB) features are designed to manage traffic over multiple ISP or WAN links. This enables you to provision multiple links, resulting in reduced risk of outages and additional bandwidth to relieve traffic congestion.

Global load balancing

Global load balancing (GLB) makes your network reliable and available by scaling applications across multiple data centers to improve application response times and be prepared for disaster recovery.

You can deploy DNS to direct traffic based on application availability and location.

Security

In most deployment scenarios, we recommend you deploy FortiGate to secure your network. Fortinet includes security functionality in the FortiADC system to support those cases when deploying FortiGate is impractical. FortiADC includes the following security features:

Firewall—Drop traffic that matches a source/destination/service tuple you specify.

Security connection limit—Drop an abnormally high volume of traffic from a source/destination/service match.

IP Reputation service—Drop or redirect traffic from source IPs that are on the FortiGuard IP Reputation list.

Geo IP—Drop or redirect traffic from source IPs that correspond with countries in the FortiGuard Geo IP database.

Web application firewall—Drop or alert when traffic matches web application firewall attack signatures and heuristics.

AntiVirus—Provide protection against a variety of threats, including both known and unknown malicious codes (malware) and Advanced Target Attacks (ATA).

Denial of service protection—Drop half-open connections to protect the system from a SYN flood attack.

Who this course is for:
- Security/Network professionals involved in the deployment, administration, maintenance, and troubleshooting of FortiADC devices should attend this course
