Questions to ask to help with sizing

• Number of users connected to the network, internal and remote. Estimated number of devices/BYOD
• Are there any servers that users are connecting to via the FortiGate, regard each server as +10 users.
• Are there any servers remotely accessed, i.e. used to upload files, web servers
• Number of interfaces required - is there a requirement for additional switches to extend the interfaces,
manage APs etc
• Bandwidth of connection, both uplink and downlink. Is this an SD-WAN implementation

Additional options

• FortiClient - provides remote VPN access, AV, Application firewall for end points
• Unmanaged FortiClient is free for VPN access, Manager requires FortiClient EMS
