Azure SD-WAN

Hi,

 

I'm looking for good SD-WAN options for connecting our branches to our Azure vWAN with secured hubs (Azure Firewall). The plan is to ditch our current on-prem network circuit + express route and move to Azure vWan as the central hub with branch offices connecting over SD-WAN. I've had a look at Azure Virtual WAN partners, regions, and available locations | Microsoft Learn. We currently do have Fortigate NGFW on-prem but doesn't belong to us as its managed by a vendor. Besides, deploying dual role Fortigate NGFW into the vWan hub seems like an over-kill since we already have Azure Firewall Premium? Would be grateful for your experience \ suggestions.

 

Thanks

    I use Fortigate firewall (physical one) at past, and yes, it offer SD-WAN but also firewall function so may overlap with exist role/purpose of firewall, at that time, Fortigate firewall (physical one) will treat as 1st Tier so it need to depends on network design and position
