With many of today's emerging technologies, the question of migration often arises. As we all know, today's technology is constantly evolving, and that brings its own challenges. One of the most common problems is the transition of older, complex configurations to new and next-generation solutions. At first glance, this seems like a relatively simple task, but for any security solution manager, it is one of the biggest problems they have to deal with. With FortiConverter, Fortinet offers its customers a simple, supported process for this task. In the past, this was a highly manual or professional services-driven undertaking, for which there are a number of reasons. The main reason is often complexity. Device configurations can often grow organically, and while individual changes are relatively easy to manage, the task becomes significantly more difficult when it comes to transferring entire configurations to new platforms. An additional challenge is that configurations often contain old and redundant information, which complicates the migration process. With FortiConverter, this process is massively simplified and automated, while errors and redundant information are quickly highlighted, enabling a smooth transition process to next-generation platforms.
