Case Study: DGETI Jalisco achieves greater network security and simplified management with Fortinet

DGETI Jalisco - Customer Case Study

DGETI Jalisco, the General Directorate of Information Technology for the Secretary of Education in Jalisco, Mexico, faced challenges with perimeter security equipment that was prone to saturation and frequent failures. This led to service interruptions, slow network access, and overly complex security management. They required a high-speed solution to simplify management and gain better control and visibility over their network for more than 10,000 users.

Fortinet implemented a solution using FortiGate 3600C appliances in a high-availability cluster and a FortiAnalyzer 1000D. This provided a suite of security functionalities including firewall, IPS, and web filtering. The results were significant: network availability improved from 98.9% to 99.99%, access management response times dropped from 24 hours to 15 minutes, and the institution saved 60 hours per month on support. Fortinet's solutions provided greater reliability, control, and detailed reporting for informed decision-making.
