The environment of security of SDN of Fortinet company enters innovations to basic layers of a network architecture:

• Data plane is consolidation of services of security from hardware modules in logical entities, giving additional opportunities on scalability and close integration in switching factory and network flows.

• Control plane is management and automation of processing of security policies with adaptive load distribution for an exception of delays at security and compliances to requirements in dynamic environments.

• Management plane is centralized operation by security policies and events of physical and virtual applications, private and public clouds on all infrastructure for ensuring complex security.

According to developers, in IT market there will be no single SDN standard platform which will be used by the enterprises and service providers therefore the company is going to develop a partner ecosystem for support of the different SDN platforms using own and open interfaces of application programming (API).
