About FortiAnalyzer on VMware ESXi

This document provides information about deploying a FortiAnalyzer virtual appliance in VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESX/ESXi) and VMware vSphere Client environments.

This includes how to configure the virtual appliance's virtual hardware settings. This guide presumes that the reader has a thorough understanding of virtualization servers.

This document does not cover configuring and operating the virtual appliance after successfully installing and starting it. For that information, see the FortiAnalyzer Administration Guide.

Licensing

Fortinet offers the FortiAnalyzer-VM with a limited, free trial license. Stackable licenses can be purchased, letting you expand your VM solution as your environment expands. You can purchase perpetual or subscription-based licenses. Perpetual licenses never expire.

For information on purchasing a FortiAnalyzer-VM license, contact your Fortinet-authorized reseller, or visit How To Buy.

When configuring your FortiAnalyzer-VM, ensure that you configure hardware settings acording to the minimum system requirements and consider future expansion. Contact your Fortinet-authorized reseller for more information.
