Case Study: Pacific National cuts networking costs in half with Fortinet Secure SD-Branch

Pacific National halves annual networking costs with Fortinet

Pacific National, an Australian national rail operator, faced significant challenges with its costly MPLS network, which offered limited redundancy, low bandwidth, and forced all traffic through its data center. The company needed a high-performance replacement that would provide robust security at the network edge for its critical transport management system.

Working with Fortinet, Pacific National deployed a Secure SD-Branch solution leveraging Fortinet's Secure SD-WAN, firewalls, and other products. This implementation provided granular security controls, improved network performance and redundancy, and enabled direct internet access. As a result, Fortinet helped Pacific National halve its annual networking costs, achieve a two-year ROI, and gain the ability to provision connectivity to new sites in days rather than months.
