Downloading the FortiGate VM deployment package
FortiGate-VM is certified to be compatible with vCloud Director and listed on the compatibility page. FortiGate-VM is also certified to be VMware vCloud NFV Ready, with VNF compatibility on VMware vSphere. Fortinet and VMware can jointly provide an agile and secure platform for service delivery with greater security agility and customization. To download the FortiGate VM deployment package: In the main page of the Customer Service & Support site, select Download Firmware Images. The Firmware Images page opens. In the Firmware Images page, select FortiGate. Browse to the appropriate directory on the FTP site for the version that you would like to download. FortiGate-VMs benefit from SR-IOV because SR-IOV optimizes network performance and reduces latency and CPU usage. FortiGate-VMs do not use VMware ESXi features that are incompatible with SR-IOV, so you can enable SR-IOV without negatively affecting your FortiGate-VM. SR-IOV implements an I/O memory management unit (IOMMU) to differentiate.
