Why FortiFlex for a MSP?
MSSPs are constantly challenged by the need to select the right sizing for virtual machines, hardware devices and security services, as well as to keep a secure CI/CD posture. The use of classical perpetual/subscription licensing scheme creates a sizing black hole, which can lead to over-provisioning waste or even worse under-provisioning, which increases the risk of exposure. The FortiFlex program (formerly Flex-VM) enables MSSPs to eliminate sizing issues and overspending, address CI/CD compliance with powerful API integration, and benefit from a predictable OpEx model. It is a new consumption model that brings on-demand usage and pay-for-usage charging through BYOL licensing for virtual appliances, security services and cloud-based management services.
