Case Study: EFS Networks achieves scalable, multi-layer hospitality network security and growth with Fortinet

EFS Networks maximizes growth utilizing Fortinet for custom security deployments

EFS Networks is a small, Drexel‑founded technology and consulting firm that specializes in high-end hospitality deployments and has grown by delivering hands‑on managed security and networking. For a luxury venue, The Reeds at Shelter Haven, they faced the challenge of designing a highly adjustable, multi‑layer wired and wireless infrastructure that could support events of varying size while keeping functions like guest access, energy management, A/V, voice and PCI payments compartmentalized and easy to manage.

EFS chose Fortinet for performance and unified management, deploying a FortiGate‑300C and dozens of FortiAPs to create seven overlaid networks with single‑pane control and CLI flexibility. The result is a scalable, secure environment that can be reconfigured for indoor or outdoor events, meets PCI and operational needs, reduces overall TCO, and gives EFS a platform to grow and add advanced filtering and antivirus features.
