To make your KVM FortiGate deployment highly responsive under intensive network stress:

She knew the format instantly. FortiGate VM 64-bit, KVM version 7.23, build 1262. A qcow2 disk image. But "exclusive"? Fortinet didn't label anything "exclusive." Their firmware was locked, signed, and serialized.
To understand what makes this package "exclusive" for virtualization, we must analyze its structural naming convention: Which you are running (Proxmox, raw QEMU, GNS3, or EVE-NG)

: Specifies a 64-bit FortiGate Virtual Machine ( fgtvm64 ) built natively for the Kernel-based Virtual Machine ( kvm ) hypervisor.
Deploying via the Linux terminal or virt-install provides fine-grained control over network interface mappings and resource allocation boundaries. 1. Extract the Archive Files
