Introduction to FAZ_VM64_KVM-v7.0.11-build0595-FORTINET.out.kvm.zip Software
The FAZ_VM64_KVM-v7.0.11-build0595-FORTINET.out.kvm.zip package provides the latest KVM-optimized virtual appliance for Fortinet’s enterprise security analytics platform. Released under FortiOS 7.8 compatibility guidelines in Q2 2025, this build introduces hardware-assisted threat correlation and multi-tenant log management capabilities for large-scale virtualized environments.
Designed for service providers managing 10,000+ network endpoints, this virtual appliance achieves 150,000 events-per-second processing with 99.99% data consistency. Exclusively compatible with FortiAnalyzer VM64 KVM licenses, it requires KVM hypervisors running on CentOS 7.9+ or RHEL 8.5+ with libvirt 6.0+ libraries.
