Case Study: Tristar Medical Group achieves 99.9% uptime and stronger patient-data security with Fortinet

Acurus and Fortinet safeguard the health of Tristar Medical Group

Tristar Medical Group is a regional Australian healthcare provider with 35 medical centres across Victoria and New South Wales. Facing recurring infrastructure and performance problems that disrupted appointment scheduling and access to patient records, the organisation needed a stable, low‑overhead network and strong application‑level security to keep clinics running smoothly and protect sensitive health data.

Tristar engaged Acurus, which migrated its systems to a managed cloud platform and deployed Fortinet appliances (FortiGate‑60CX and cluster FortiGate‑200B) with sFlow monitoring, DSL WAN with 4G failover, and integrated firewall, VPN, antivirus, web filtering and DLP. The new solution delivered 99.9% uptime, a 50% reduction in unwanted network traffic, about 40% annual cost savings versus the legacy system, and faster, more secure operations with improved visibility across all sites.
