Introduction to FAZ_VM64_XEN-v6-build1518-FORTINET.out.CitrixXen.zip Software
This XenServer-optimized virtual machine package (v6-build1518) provides Fortinet’s FortiAnalyzer 3500F log management platform tailored for Citrix hypervisor environments. Released in Q3 2025, it addresses three critical vulnerabilities while introducing enhanced log correlation capabilities and cloud-native integrations.
Designed for enterprises managing hybrid infrastructure, the VM supports centralized log aggregation from 40,000+ Fortinet devices (FortiGate 7.4.3+, FortiSwitch 7.6.2+) and third-party syslog sources across XenServer 8.2 clusters. Its architecture enables 300,000 logs/second ingestion rates with 99.95% availability SLA compliance.
