What FortiLAN Cloud is
FortiLAN Cloud is a cloud service for managing Fortinet wireless access points and switches across sites. Its free tier covers up to 30 FortiAPs, three FortiSwitches and three sites, with seven days of log storage. The service supports zero-touch provisioning, so devices can be provisioned without on-site setup, and includes guest access and roaming optimization. It also offers API access and Wi-Fi 7 support.
The Free Tier costs nothing. Licensed Tiers scale with the number of sites and include one year of logs plus advanced wireless and switch features. The Multi-Tenancy License supports multiple sub-accounts and their administration, and is designed for managed service providers. FortiLAN Cloud is web-based and deployed in the cloud. Fortinet was founded in 2000 and is headquartered in Sunnyvale, California, USA.
Who it suits
FortiLAN Cloud suits organizations managing Fortinet access points and switches across multiple sites, especially those that can work within the Free Tier’s device, site and log-storage limits. Managed service providers can consider the Multi-Tenancy License for its sub-account administration.
