Case Study: a water treatment company achieves faster, more efficient firewall provisioning with Fortinet FortiFlex

a water treatment company cuts firewall costs 15% with Fortinet

A water treatment company with offices across the Americas and Europe faced growing network complexity and security management challenges as it rapidly acquired new businesses. To centralize operations, the company moved to a Microsoft Azure cloud environment but needed to protect these assets without overprovisioning security for its dynamic needs. The longtime Fortinet customer turned to FortiGate virtual machines.

Using FortiFlex usage-based licensing from Fortinet, the company could right-size each FortiGate VM's capacity, with unused points rolling over annually. This solution eliminated overprovisioning and accelerated deployments. With Fortinet, the company achieved a 15% cost savings on FortiGate VMs, reduced firewall deployment time from over a week to just 30 minutes, and gained efficient visibility into its cloud security landscape.
