Fortinet FortiNAC CA-700F in Dubai, UAE
FortiNAC CA-700F is a high-capacity FortiNAC Control and Application Server for organisations that need consistent visibility, device profiling, network access policy and response across large wired and wireless environments. The appliance is intended for demanding FortiNAC deployments where a buyer must plan not only the server hardware, but also endpoint licensing, FortiCare, integration, high availability and the operational design around the network infrastructure.
Do not size this appliance from user count alone. Confirm switch-port totals, concurrent wireless connections, managed endpoints, authentication load, persistent-agent usage and expected growth.
Hardware SKU: FNC-CA-700F. Endpoint licenses and support are separate procurement items and should be validated in the final bill of materials.
Control + Application Server
1U rack appliance
Up to 25,000 ports / 50,000 endpoints*
Licenses and FortiCare require confirmation
*Fortinet publishes different capacity measures for network ports and managed endpoints. They are not interchangeable. Final sizing should be based on the current design and Fortinet guidance.
Direct answer for buyers evaluating the CA-700F
Fortinet FortiNAC CA-700F is the large-capacity hardware Control and Application Server in the FortiNAC F-series range. Its main job is to support network access control by discovering and profiling connected assets, applying access policies through the surrounding switching and wireless infrastructure, and coordinating response when endpoints do not meet policy. It is most relevant to enterprises, campuses, healthcare environments, industrial networks and multi-site organisations with a large number of access ports or managed endpoints. Before proceeding, buyers should confirm the real port count, endpoint count, authentication demand, license tier, FortiCare requirement, high-availability design, existing switch and wireless compatibility, and whether FortiNAC Manager or FortiAnalyzer will form part of the architecture.
What the FortiNAC CA-700F does
FortiNAC is an out-of-band network access control platform. Rather than forwarding normal user traffic through the NAC appliance, it integrates with the network and security infrastructure to learn what is connected and to apply control at the point where a device joins the network. Data can be gathered through mechanisms such as SNMP, CLI, RADIUS, syslog, APIs and DHCP fingerprints. The CA-700F provides the hardware resources for the FortiNAC Control and Application functions in a large deployment, enabling the platform to maintain device visibility, support authentication and onboarding workflows, enforce access decisions and coordinate automated actions.
Who should consider this model
The CA-700F is worth evaluating when smaller FortiNAC appliances do not provide sufficient headroom for the planned environment. Typical candidates include large campuses, universities, hospitals, corporate headquarters, distributed enterprises and OT-heavy environments where the number of access ports, wireless connections or managed devices can be substantial. It may also fit organisations that expect material growth and want to reduce the likelihood of re-platforming too early. It should not be selected simply because it is the largest model; a correctly sized CA-500F, CA-600F or virtual deployment can be more appropriate when the actual capacity requirement is lower.
Business challenges this appliance can help address
Unknown devices on the access network
Large networks often include employee systems, contractors, BYOD, printers, cameras, building-control devices, medical equipment and industrial assets. FortiNAC is designed to improve visibility into those connections and classify devices so access policy can be tied to identity, device type and context.
Inconsistent access controls
When access policy is managed separately on many switches and wireless systems, operational consistency becomes difficult. FortiNAC can centralise policy logic and use the existing network infrastructure to steer devices into the appropriate access state, VLAN or restriction workflow.
Slow response to risky endpoints
NAC becomes more valuable when visibility leads to action. Depending on licensing and integration, FortiNAC can use policy and security events to restrict, isolate or otherwise change network access for devices that fail posture checks or are identified as risky.
Scaling beyond one site
The out-of-band architecture allows centralised FortiNAC services to supervise remote access networks without placing the appliance inline with every user session. For larger distributed designs, FortiNAC Manager and multiple CA systems may be considered, subject to architecture and licensing requirements.
Core capability band
Discovery, profiling and classification of users and connected assets across heterogeneous infrastructure.
Policy-led authentication, onboarding, segmentation and network access enforcement through integrated infrastructure.
Automated reaction and incident-response functions where supported by the selected feature tier and integrations.
Works with Fortinet products and a broad third-party ecosystem of network, directory, endpoint and security platforms.
Is the CA-700F the right fit?
| Requirement | Suitable when | Confirm before ordering |
|---|---|---|
| Large NAC scale | The environment is approaching the range where CA-500F or CA-600F capacity may be insufficient. | Total network ports, concurrent wireless connections and managed endpoints. |
| High authentication load | Large numbers of users and devices authenticate through RADIUS or onboarding workflows. | Authentication method, identity source and peak request rate. |
| Large Fortinet estate | FortiGate, FortiSwitch and other Security Fabric integrations are part of the access design. | Supported software versions and integration topology. |
| Operational resilience | The NAC service requires a planned high-availability architecture. | Matching hardware, addressing, failover design, licenses and recovery requirements. |
| Distributed enterprise | Central NAC services must control many sites through local switching and wireless infrastructure. | WAN latency, management design and whether FortiNAC Manager is required. |
Verified FortiNAC CA-700F hardware and scale information

Licensing, support and compatibility are part of the purchase
The CA-700F hardware does not by itself define the complete FortiNAC solution. Endpoint licensing must match the number of concurrently managed devices and the functions the organisation plans to use. Current Fortinet materials describe PLUS and PRO feature tiers, while the live FortiNAC product page can also display additional license references. Because vendor packaging and ordering structures can change, the quotation should identify the exact license SKU, endpoint quantity, term or perpetual entitlement, and the matching FortiCare requirement.
Compatibility also needs to be validated at the actual software-version level. A switch, controller, firewall, directory or endpoint platform may be generally supported but still require specific software, permissions, APIs, SNMP access, RADIUS configuration or integration settings. Buyers should provide the network-device inventory and versions before the final bill of materials is approved.
A practical purchase and deployment journey
Measure the real environment
Count switch ports, expected concurrent wireless connections, endpoint inventory, guest demand, authentication volumes and anticipated growth. Include branch and remote locations that will be managed centrally.
Select the FortiNAC architecture
Decide whether one CA server is sufficient, whether high availability is required, and whether multiple CA systems or FortiNAC Manager are appropriate for a distributed design.
Validate integrations
Confirm switches, wireless infrastructure, FortiGate systems, identity services, endpoint platforms, SIEM tools and any OT or IoT security integrations that will participate in discovery or enforcement.
Build licenses and support
Match the endpoint entitlement and feature tier to the business requirement. Include the current FortiCare support SKU and any professional services needed for design, integration, onboarding or knowledge transfer.
Plan rollout and enforcement
Start with discovery and visibility, validate device classification, test policy in controlled groups and then expand enforcement. This reduces the risk of an access policy unexpectedly affecting critical business or OT systems.
Operate and maintain
Assign owners for policy changes, device-classification exceptions, certificate management, platform upgrades, backups, integration health and renewal planning.
Capacity planning beyond a single number
A common purchasing mistake is to treat the largest published capacity value as the only sizing input. FortiNAC scale depends on what the appliance is actually doing. The current Fortinet data sheet describes CA-700F as suitable for large environments with few persistent agents, which means the design team should understand agent usage rather than assuming every workload has the same resource profile.
Port capacity and managed endpoints should also be kept separate. A campus may have a high number of physical switch ports but a lower number of active endpoints, while another environment may have many wireless and IoT devices relative to the wired port estate. Authentication source, RADIUS method, guest activity, API use and security-event volume can further affect the practical workload. FourTeck can help organise these inputs into a sizing discussion before the hardware and license quantities are fixed.
Network access policy without inline traffic forwarding
FortiNAC’s out-of-band approach is important for architecture planning. The CA-700F does not need to become the forwarding path for every user’s business traffic. Instead, FortiNAC collects context from the infrastructure and then uses integrations with switches, wireless systems and security platforms to influence access at the edge.
This architecture can make central management practical across multiple sites, but it does not remove the need for integration design. The NAC platform must still have the appropriate management reachability, credentials, APIs, SNMP permissions, RADIUS flows and control methods. Network teams should therefore map both the management plane and the access-enforcement path. For critical environments, change control should define what happens when FortiNAC is temporarily unavailable and how existing switch or wireless policy behaves during maintenance or failover.
High availability and operational continuity
FortiNAC supports high-availability designs using active and passive instances, and Fortinet documentation also describes N+1 failover options for larger architectures. High availability should be treated as a design decision rather than an accessory added at the end of procurement.
For a CA-700F project, buyers should confirm matching model requirements, addressing, network placement, synchronization, software versions and the operational procedure for planned or unplanned failover. In multi-site deployments, FortiNAC Manager can be considered for central management of multiple CA systems. A resilient architecture should also include backups, documented recovery procedures and clear ownership for license management. FourTeck can help identify which items belong in the hardware, license and service scope, while the final topology should be validated against the current Fortinet deployment guidance.
Where the CA-700F can make practical sense
Large corporate campuses
Campuses with many access switches, wireless users, contractors and unmanaged devices can use NAC to build a more consistent view of who and what is connected. The CA-700F is relevant when the calculated port and endpoint scale justifies the largest F-series CA platform.
Healthcare networks
Hospitals and healthcare groups often combine staff devices, shared terminals, biomedical equipment, guest access and IoMT endpoints. NAC can help separate access policy by device role, but clinical-device compatibility and change control must be reviewed carefully.
Education and university environments
Universities can have large seasonal populations, BYOD, labs, residence networks and high wireless concurrency. A FortiNAC design should account for onboarding peaks, guest workflows, device turnover and the actual access-port estate.
Industrial and OT environments
OT networks often contain long-lived devices that cannot accept conventional endpoint agents. FortiNAC can support agentless discovery and policy approaches, but production assets, protocols and maintenance windows must be considered before enforcement changes are introduced.
Multi-site enterprises
Distributed organisations may centralise policy while using local infrastructure to enforce access. WAN reachability, latency, failover and manager architecture should be assessed together rather than treating each branch as a separate NAC island.
Mixed-vendor access networks
FortiNAC is designed for heterogeneous environments, but exact compatibility matters. The right question is not whether a vendor appears in a general ecosystem list; it is whether the exact switch, wireless controller, software release and intended control action are supported.
Integration and operational considerations
A successful NAC project depends on surrounding systems. FortiNAC can integrate with FortiGate, FortiSwitch, FortiAP, FortiAnalyzer and other Fortinet platforms, while also supporting many third-party network, directory, endpoint and security technologies. That breadth is useful, but procurement should still be based on the exact integration list. Share switch and wireless-controller models, software versions, directory services, identity flows, endpoint management platforms and security products during design review.
Authentication deserves separate attention. FortiNAC can participate in RADIUS-based access control, captive portal, BYOD onboarding and guest workflows. Different RADIUS methods and identity sources create different performance profiles, so a large user population should be assessed by peak authentication behaviour rather than only by the number of registered endpoints. Certificate-based access can also require certificate authority, supplicant and lifecycle planning.
Operational teams should define who owns device profiling exceptions, onboarding failures, blocked endpoints, changes to access policies and integration credentials. NAC affects access to the network, so even a technically correct policy can cause disruption if change management is weak. A phased deployment that starts with visibility, moves into controlled policy tests and then expands enforcement generally gives teams more time to validate classifications and exceptions.
Buyer questions to resolve before requesting a quotation
Include used and planned switch ports where they contribute to the FortiNAC sizing model.
Wireless connections can materially affect port-based sizing and onboarding workload.
Separate endpoints from network ports and include IoT, OT, guest and headless devices where relevant.
Visibility, advanced access control and automated response can affect the required license tier.
If yes, include the secondary platform, licenses and network design in the initial quotation.
Provide network, identity, endpoint and security platform models and versions.
Agent usage should be reviewed because Fortinet’s current sizing notes are workload-sensitive.
Clarify whether the quote should include design, installation, policy configuration, integration, migration or knowledge transfer.

How FourTeck can assist with sizing and quotation
A FortiNAC quotation is more useful when it reflects the real access network rather than a generic appliance-and-license combination. FourTeck can review the proposed scope, help separate port capacity from managed-endpoint requirements, and identify the questions that affect CA-700F sizing. This can include the number of sites, wired switching estate, wireless concurrency, IoT and OT populations, authentication design and expected growth.
FourTeck can also help organise the bill of materials around the hardware appliance, endpoint licenses, FortiCare support and any required implementation services. Where high availability or multi-site management is part of the requirement, the architecture can be discussed before the quote is finalised so that secondary appliances, manager components and service scope are not discovered late in the project.
For broader security and infrastructure planning, browse FourTeck technology products or review deployment and support services. You can also explore the dedicated Fortinet UAE information portal for related Fortinet solution planning.
What to send for a faster sizing discussion
Share a simple network summary containing the number of sites, switch models, access-port totals, wireless-controller and AP models, estimated concurrent wireless clients, endpoint count, authentication method, required license features and whether HA is required.
If a bill of materials already exists, send it for review so model, license and support references can be checked against the intended deployment.
UAE availability and support guidance
Contact FourTeck to confirm current UAE availability for the Fortinet FortiNAC CA-700F. Availability can depend on vendor lead time, required quantity, current hardware production, license term, FortiCare selection and project schedule. Because the appliance is normally part of a wider NAC deployment, delivery planning should be coordinated with licensing, rack preparation, network access, installation and configuration requirements rather than treated as an isolated shipment. If implementation support is required, include it in the quotation request so engineering preparation can be aligned with the expected delivery and deployment window. FourTeck can also help identify related FortiNAC licensing and integration components that need to be available at the same stage of the project.
Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and Ajman coverage
Businesses planning FortiNAC deployments in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and Ajman can contact FourTeck for requirement review, quotation coordination and project planning. The first step is to confirm where the CA-700F will be installed and which remote sites, switches, wireless networks and security systems it is expected to manage. Delivery and engineering arrangements should then be matched to the confirmed scope. For projects that include rack installation, configuration, migration or policy deployment, these activities can be discussed as part of the quotation so the operational team understands which tasks are included and which remain the customer’s responsibility.
GCC Availability
FourTeck can assist organisations planning FortiNAC CA-700F projects across GCC markets with requirement review, model and license selection, quotation coordination and deployment planning. The same NAC architecture may not be appropriate in every country or site because network scale, licensing region, electrical requirements, service scope, WAN design and local project conditions can differ. Businesses operating across the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain or Oman should identify the destination country, required appliance quantity, endpoint entitlement, support term and intended deployment schedule before the final quotation is prepared.
Product availability, licensing, delivery schedules, service visits and vendor lead times can vary by country, model, quantity and requirement. FourTeck can coordinate discussions around configuration scope, installation planning, renewal guidance and multi-site rollout where relevant, but exact fulfilment and service commitments should be confirmed in the quotation. For regional enquiries, the FourTeck Kuwait portal can also support relevant GCC procurement conversations.
Africa Availability
For organisations planning NAC projects in Africa, FourTeck can help evaluate whether the FortiNAC CA-700F is the right physical platform, how many endpoint licenses may be required and what integration or implementation work needs to be included. Large campus, healthcare, education, industrial and multi-site projects can involve different switching vendors, WAN links, power conditions and operational processes, so a regional quotation should start with the technical design rather than only the appliance SKU. East African projects in markets such as Kenya and Uganda may also need careful coordination around destination, quantity and deployment schedule.
Availability and fulfilment can depend on destination, model quantity, license region, shipping arrangements, vendor lead time, rack and power requirements, installation scope and local project conditions. Buyers should share the destination country, exact requirement, preferred deployment window and support expectations so appropriate guidance can be provided. FourTeck does not assume local inventory or guaranteed onsite coverage for every location. Visit the FourTeck Africa technology portal for regional contact and planning information.
Related options to consider with the CA-700F
FortiNAC CA-600F
A lower-capacity Control and Application Server that may be more appropriate when the measured environment does not justify CA-700F scale. Compare port, endpoint and workload requirements rather than choosing by model sequence alone.
FortiNAC Manager
A management component for organisations operating multiple CA systems. Its role, licensing and architecture should be evaluated for distributed or multi-site deployments rather than assumed for every CA-700F project.
FortiNAC PLUS or PRO licensing
The license tier determines the FortiNAC feature entitlement. Confirm whether the project needs visibility and advanced access-control capabilities only, or additional incident-response functions associated with the higher tier.
FortiCare for FortiNAC
Support and update services should be aligned to the appliance and license purchase. Current Fortinet ordering guidance identifies FortiCare as an important element of the FortiNAC bill of materials.
FortiAnalyzer integration
FortiAnalyzer can be part of a broader reporting and analytics design. Confirm software-version compatibility and the reporting requirement before adding it to the project scope.
Implementation services
Architecture review, installation, integration, policy configuration, migration and handover can be scoped separately. Visit FourTeck services to discuss project assistance.
Why businesses contact FourTeck for FortiNAC planning
The most useful assistance in a FortiNAC project is usually not a generic product description. Buyers need help translating a real network into a workable bill of materials. FourTeck can support requirement clarification, model selection, license review, compatibility questions, quotation coordination and implementation planning. That can include identifying whether CA-700F capacity is justified, whether high availability should be part of the initial scope, how endpoint licensing should be calculated and what customer information is still missing before a quotation can be treated as complete.
FourTeck can also help organise discussions around rack requirements, network integration, phased deployment, migration and support. These activities remain scope dependent; they should be written into the quotation rather than assumed. For company information, visit about FourTeck, or use the FourTeck contact page to start a technical and commercial discussion.
What buyers commonly need to know before shortlisting this appliance
Why do some FortiNAC references say 25,000 ports while newer sizing material says 50,000 endpoints?
The two figures describe different capacity measures. Fortinet’s current FortiNAC product page lists the CA-700F as a Control and Application Server that manages up to 25,000 ports in the network. The current FortiNAC data sheet also includes a hardware-sizing table that states the CA-700F manages up to 50,000 endpoints. A port-based sizing model can consider wired switch ports and concurrent wireless connections, while an endpoint metric counts registered, managed and enforced endpoint devices. Buyers should not convert one figure directly into the other. A correct design starts with both the network access estate and the expected endpoint population, then checks authentication demand, agent usage and expected growth.
Does buying the CA-700F include FortiNAC licenses?
The hardware SKU should be treated separately from the endpoint licensing required for the FortiNAC deployment. Current Fortinet ordering material describes endpoint-based license options and FortiCare requirements. The final quote should therefore show the appliance, endpoint entitlement, feature tier and support as distinct line items where applicable. This matters because an appliance sized for a large network can still be licensed for a different endpoint quantity, and the required functionality can affect which tier is selected.
Is CA-700F always better than CA-600F?
No. CA-700F is the larger platform, but a larger appliance is not automatically the right procurement choice. If the network fits comfortably within the supported capacity and workload of CA-600F, the lower model may provide sufficient headroom. The comparison should use network-port count, managed endpoints, RADIUS load, guest activity, API demand, persistent-agent usage, growth and redundancy requirements. Choosing the smallest model that safely meets current and planned demand can make the architecture easier to justify and support.
Can FortiNAC work in a mixed-vendor network?
Fortinet publishes a broad FortiNAC ecosystem spanning switches, wireless products, directories and security systems from many vendors. The practical buyer question is whether the exact models and versions in your environment support the discovery and control methods you intend to use. A device can be visible to FortiNAC but still have limitations for a specific enforcement action. Supply the exact network inventory during design review rather than relying on a brand-level assumption.
What makes a FortiNAC rollout operationally difficult?
The challenge is usually policy and integration rather than racking the appliance. Device classification must be accurate, exceptions must be understood, network infrastructure must accept the required control commands, authentication services must be reliable and support teams must know how to respond when a user or critical device is blocked. A phased rollout gives the organisation time to observe the network before turning on broad enforcement. For OT, medical or other sensitive devices, test plans and maintenance windows are particularly important.
How should pricing be evaluated?
The appliance price is only one part of the project cost. Endpoint licenses, FortiCare, high-availability hardware, management components, implementation services and renewal terms can materially change the total. Public reseller prices also vary by country, currency, discount structure and whether a listing is hardware-only or bundled. For that reason, a UAE buyer should request a project-specific quotation after confirming the bill of materials rather than using a public hardware price as the expected final project price. The quote should clearly state hardware, license quantities, support term, services, delivery assumptions and any optional components.
Decision questions before you commit
How much headroom should we leave above today’s device count?
Plan for the growth that is realistically expected over the appliance’s intended lifecycle, not an arbitrary percentage. New campuses, Wi-Fi expansion, IoT projects, building systems, acquisitions and branch consolidation can change NAC scale quickly. At the same time, buying a much larger model without a documented growth case can increase cost without adding operational value. Build a three-to-five-year capacity view and then validate it against current Fortinet guidance.
Should we use physical CA-700F hardware or a virtual FortiNAC deployment?
The answer depends on data-centre standards, virtualization capacity, operational ownership, performance requirements and resilience design. Physical appliances provide a dedicated hardware platform with defined resources. Virtual deployment can align with existing compute practices and cloud or hypervisor strategy. Both approaches still require correct sizing, licensing, backups, upgrade planning and high-availability decisions. Compare lifecycle and operational requirements, not only initial hardware cost.
What information is needed to validate RADIUS performance?
Identify the outer and inner authentication method where applicable, the identity source, expected normal request rate and peak logon events. Morning login waves, large Wi-Fi reauthentication events or campus term starts can create short periods of high demand. Fortinet publishes different tested RADIUS request rates for different methods and identity sources, so the design should reflect the actual authentication workflow.
Do we need FortiNAC Manager?
A single CA-700F deployment does not automatically require FortiNAC Manager. Manager becomes relevant when multiple CA systems need centralised management and when the architecture benefits from coordinated visibility across a distributed deployment. Confirm the number of CA servers, sites, latency and administrative model. If Manager is required, include its platform and license requirements from the beginning so the management layer is not treated as an afterthought.
What should we test before enforcing access restrictions?
Test device classification, authentication, VLAN or role changes, guest onboarding, exception workflows and the behaviour of critical systems when policy is applied. Validate both success and failure cases. For printers, cameras, OT controllers, medical systems and other headless devices, confirm how they are recognised and what happens if they are temporarily misclassified. A test plan should also cover recovery when integrations or authentication services are unavailable.
How do we prepare an accurate UAE quotation request?
Send the exact hardware requirement, quantity, site count, port and endpoint estimates, license tier, license term, FortiCare preference, HA requirement and implementation scope. Include the destination and target schedule. If compatibility review is required, attach the network-device list and software versions. This gives FourTeck enough context to distinguish mandatory line items from optional services and to ask targeted questions before commercial pricing is finalised.
Frequently asked questions
What is the Fortinet FortiNAC CA-700F?
It is a FortiNAC F-series Control and Application Server for large network access control deployments. Manufacturer SKU FNC-CA-700F identifies the hardware appliance.
How large a network can CA-700F support?
Current Fortinet materials publish up to 25,000 network ports on the product page and up to 50,000 managed endpoints in the data-sheet sizing table. These are different measures, so the appliance should be sized using the real port, wireless, endpoint and workload profile.
Are FortiNAC endpoint licenses included with the CA-700F hardware?
Treat endpoint licensing as separate from the hardware. Confirm the feature tier, endpoint quantity, license term and current FortiCare requirements when the bill of materials is prepared.
Does the CA-700F support high availability?
FortiNAC supports active/passive high-availability designs and larger failover architectures. Exact requirements, matching model rules, network design and licenses should be checked against the current Fortinet deployment documentation.
Can FortiNAC CA-700F work with third-party switches and wireless systems?
FortiNAC supports a broad multi-vendor ecosystem. Compatibility should still be validated for the exact switch, controller, software version and intended enforcement action before deployment.
What rack and power requirements should be planned?
The appliance is a 1U rack-mount platform measuring approximately 44 × 437 × 610 mm and weighing 18.6 kg. Fortinet specifies hot-plug 1+1 redundant power supplies and 375 W input power. Confirm rack depth, PDU capacity, cooling and cable requirements at the installation site.
Should we choose CA-700F instead of CA-600F?
Choose CA-700F when the measured scale, workload and growth requirement justify it. CA-600F can be a better fit for smaller environments. Compare capacity, authentication load, agent use, resilience and future expansion before deciding.
Is FortiNAC deployed inline with user traffic?
Fortinet describes FortiNAC as an out-of-band solution. It gains visibility and applies control by integrating with the network infrastructure rather than becoming the normal forwarding path for user traffic.
How can I request a FortiNAC CA-700F quote in Dubai?
Contact FourTeck with the required quantity, site details, port count, endpoint estimate, license tier, FortiCare term, HA requirement and desired implementation scope. FourTeck can then confirm current UAE availability and prepare the quotation around the validated requirement.
Plan the CA-700F as a complete NAC project
For a useful quotation, send more than the appliance name. Include network scale, endpoint count, site count, required feature tier, integration list, high-availability requirement and the services you expect FourTeck to include. This makes it easier to validate whether CA-700F is the right model and to build the hardware, licensing and support lines around the actual deployment.
