Case Study: The Fallibroome Trust achieves a secure, scalable central network with Blaze Networks

Blaze Networks delivers a central network with SD-WAN and cloud hosting at The Fallibroome Trust, yielding economies of scale and added security

The Fallibroome Trust, which operates ten primary and secondary academies in Cheshire, required a new approach to its IT and network infrastructure. The challenge was to create a more reliable, cost-effective, and manageable system that could serve the individual needs of each school while being agile enough to adapt to changing requirements. Blaze Networks was engaged to address these challenges.

Blaze Networks implemented a central network solution featuring SD-WAN, the Fortinet Security Fabric, and a migration to the Blaze Cloud hosting platform. This provided significant economies of scale, substantial gains in cybersecurity, and a more easily managed infrastructure. Measurable results included a drastic improvement in performance, with Google response times at Fallibroome Academy dropping from 32 msec to 8 msec. The solution also delivered enhanced student safeguarding and far simpler problem resolution for the Trust's IT team.
