Fortinet and Criterion Networks integrate FortiGate, FortiManager, and FortiAnalyzer with Criterion SDCloud to create virtual environments for designing, validating, deploying, and operating networks. Its multi-user, vendor-neutral sandbox uses a drag-and-drop canvas to model SD-WAN, security, edge, multicloud, NetOps, and SecOps architectures before production rollout. Teams can connect virtual infrastructure to physical labs and public clouds, conduct proofs of concept, test feature parity, reproduce Day-2 problems, and automate Day-1 deployments. Design, Experience, and Learning Centers also support demonstrations, training, onboarding, and knowledge transfer. The solution reduces deployment risk, hardware dependency, delays, and costs while improving confidence and operational readines
