Case Study: Global Food Services Company achieves seamless Azure migration and scalable, secure global connectivity with Fortinet

Global Food Services Company - Customer Case Study

A top-five global food services company that serves millions of meals daily across dozens of countries needed to move its widely distributed IT estate to Microsoft Azure. Their existing hosted VPN was expensive and Azure gateway tunnel limits prevented connecting all autonomous country operations, while a heterogeneous mix of local firewalls made standardization and secure cloud connectivity difficult—yet the migration had to cause zero business disruption.

The company deployed multiple Fortinet FortiGate appliances to terminate dedicated tunnels from each country and aggregate traffic into Azure, leveraging the Fortinet Security Fabric to integrate with diverse local devices and provide centralized visibility and control. With Fortinet Professional Services support they mirrored the hosted configuration, flipped the switch over a single weekend with no downtime, and achieved secure, standardized Azure connectivity across dozens of countries.
