Case Study: SENATI (Peru's largest technical college) achieves secure nationwide connectivity and 60% bandwidth optimization with Fortinet FortiGate Secure SD-WAN

Largest Technical College in Peru Uses Secure SD-WAN to Connect 83 Locations

SENATI, Peru’s largest technical college with 83 campuses, about 90,000 students and 5,000 staff, needed to securely connect widely distributed sites while routing traffic through next‑generation firewalls in its Lima data center. The IT team faced limited and uneven WAN bandwidth across provinces and required consistent application performance, centralized security and simpler cross‑team management.

They deployed FortiGate Secure SD‑WAN (with embedded SD‑WAN in the firewall) and FortiManager for unified control. The integrated solution simplified management, provided automatic failover and security-driven traffic steering, improved visibility and control, and delivered a 60% improvement in bandwidth optimization while maintaining high‑performance, secure connectivity across all campuses.
