Frustrated by poor service from a managed service provider, the business needed a more efficient way to connect locations while ensuring high performance for critical applications. It also needed strong security to meet regulatory requirements and protect customers’ financial information. The company went all-in on Fortinet for its network and security equipment. Our guest is Shane Williams, Director of IT; and Paul Provorse, System Administrator, both of White Family Dealerships. Besides SD-WAN we’ll talk about how and why the company is using Fortinet APs, switches, and other gear at its locations. We also discuss the visibility and uptime benefits that company has gotten from bringing operations in-house.
