Dear Experts,
I am working on a solution and want to understand using Fortigate Appliance with ATP Bundle. I have worked on putting Fortigate in Classic on Baremetal and worked like a charm. Now for another customer ask is not to use classic and wants to put Fortigate in VPC VSI. I have tested this and got few challenges like:
- Cons in VPC - Fortigate HA both appliances has to be in same subnet means Zone is single point of failure.
- Cons in VPC - It depends on VPC routing table entry, which do not have more features as compare to BGP routing.
- Pros in VPC - Its cheaper as compare to Classic Baremetal
- Cons in Classic - Its costly
- Cons in Classic - Monitoring is hard
- Pros in Classic - Easily manageble and monitoringable
- Pros in Classic - HA is very well possible
Can anyone else help me with additional pros and cons of using Fortigate in VPC and Classic?
