Case Study: Somerset NHS Partnership strengthens security and simplifies management with Axians and Fortinet

Somerset NHS Partnership upgrades 60-site security with Axians in 2016

Somerset NHS Partnership, a large trust with over 60 sites, faced a challenge with its aging and end-of-life Juniper firewalls. As part of an upgrade program, they sought a next-generation firewall solution with rich, centrally managed security features. The vendor Axians, a Fortinet partner, assisted in presenting a solution to address this need.

Axians implemented the Fortinet Eco Security System, which provided a suite of security features managed through a single interface. The solution was successfully completed, with the trust reporting it is working fantastically. The biggest advantage was the single management console that allowed all aspects to be managed effectively from one place, improving secure communication with other local authorities.
