Report Highlights
- "Enterprises continue to tell Gartner during inquiries that they prefer a common set of security, policy enforcement and management across both their wired and wireless access networks."
- "[Customers] want the flexibility to deploy these network applications on-premises within the enterprise, in a private cloud or in a public cloud to address a variety of implementation scenarios, such as multiple, remote branch offices in addition to large campus environments."
- "The only glimmer of innovation has been vendors that continue to extend their network fabric from the data center or cloud to the edge of the network to provide "microsegmentation" of IoT devices. Clients continue to cite network service applications and unified-access layer management not only as market drivers, but also as differentiators, when looking at vendor solutions."
Unifying Networking with Security Gartner's Magic Quadrant for the Wired and Wireless LAN Access Infrastructure evaluates enterprise LAN vendors providing converged access layer connectivity that integrate wired and wireless hardware components with network applications.
Fortinet's believes its position in the report is driven by its strength in unifying the latest wired and wireless infrastructure technologies with superior network security within the Fortinet Security Fabric, which was most recently demonstrated with the launch of Fortinet's Universal AP series of wired and wireless LAN solutions. A fabric approach to security delivers unprecendented visbility and control for enterprise networks and further demonstrates Fortinet's vision for the future of network security.
Fortinet also recently received top marks in The Channel Company's CRN 2016 Annual Report Card , which surveys channel partners in several categories. Fortinet earned the overall win in Web and Application Security and also won the Partnership category in Enterprise Wireless LANs.
