Case Study: Anáhuac Puebla University achieves consolidated network infrastructure and secure cloud migration with Fortinet

One of the Largest Universities in Mexico Consolidates Network Infrastructure and Secures Cloud Migration with Fortinet

Anáhuac Puebla University, part of the Anáhuac University Network and one of Mexico’s leading private higher-education institutions, faced growing technology and security demands as its campuses and student population expanded. The IT team needed to consolidate disparate perimeter firewalls, improve threat visibility, and ensure resilient connectivity to support hybrid-cloud operations and rapid digitalization driven by the pandemic.

The university migrated to a unified Fortinet platform—deploying FortiGate NGFWs, FortiAnalyzer, FortiManager, FortiClient, and Secure SD-WAN—centralizing management and threat reporting, automating link redundancy, and securing endpoints. The result was higher availability and performance, complete network visibility, seamless support for migration to Microsoft Azure, and the rapid enablement of more than 1,000 remote VPN connections in three days to maintain continuity of services.
