Case Study: Minnesota Wild Hockey Club achieves a more secure, scalable arena network with Fortinet

Minnesota Wild Hockey Club cuts managed services tickets by 50% with Fortinet

The Minnesota Wild Hockey Club needed to modernize its aging arena network infrastructure, which lacked visibility and created operational complexity for its small IT team. With zero tolerance for downtime during NHL games and live events, the club partnered with Fortinet to build a more secure, scalable, and manageable network foundation using Fortinet's security fabric products.

Fortinet implemented a solution including FortiGate Next-Generation Firewalls, FortiSwitch, FortiAnalyzer, and FortiManager. This provided the IT team with centralized visibility and control, simplifying management and enhancing Wi-Fi performance during high-density events. As a result, Fortinet helped the Minnesota Wild reduce managed services tickets by 50% while creating a stronger network foundation for future growth.
