Case Study: Grupo Colón Gerena achieves high-availability, secure connectivity across 120 locations with Fortinet Secure SD-WAN

Grupo Colon Gerena saves $180,000 annually and cuts management time 70% with Fortinet

Grupo Colón Gerena, a major Puerto Rican food service company operating 118 restaurants, needed a robust and highly available network to support its growth and ensure resiliency against severe weather. They required a solution to unify networking and cybersecurity across all locations while reducing costs and supporting new digital services.

Fortinet implemented its Security Fabric solution, centered on Fortinet Secure SD-WAN and supplemented with FortiAP wireless access points, to create a single, centrally managed network for 120 locations. The results included a 70% savings in management time, annual cost savings of $180,000 from replacing MPLS links, and the creation of a resilient platform that keeps core services operational during outages and supports new restaurant technologies.
