The FortiManager System is an integrated management and monitoring tool that consists of 
one or more FortiManager Servers and managed FortiGate and FortiAnalyzer devices.

The FortiManager Server manages communication between FortiGate devices, and a  
FortiAnalyzer device. The FortiManager Server stores and manages all FortiGate device 

configurations. It can also act as an on-site FDN server for the FortiGate devices to down

load virus and attack signatures, and to use the web filtering and antispam service. The 

FortiManager Server can also connect to a FortiAnalyzer unit for managing and monitoring 
logs and reports for all managed FortiGate devices.
