Case Study: Sullair Argentina achieves centralized network control and increased availability with Fortinet Secure SD‑WAN

Power Generation Company Centralizes Network Operation and Increases Availability with Secure SD-WAN

Sullair Argentina, a longtime manufacturer that expanded into power generation across Argentina and Brazil, faced the need to ensure uninterrupted, secure communications across a regionwide network of power plants. The company needed to prevent external attacks and avoid any downtime during critical operational processes while centralizing management and meeting contractual reporting obligations to the national electricity market.

Sullair deployed Fortinet Secure SD‑WAN (with FortiManager), redundant internet links and a satellite backup in partnership with Wezen Group, and opened a centralized Operations Center to manage 11 plants. The solution delivered higher network availability, stabilized critical communications, optimized and load‑balanced bandwidth, improved security and segmentation, and enabled faster, data-driven decision making while ensuring compliance with market and contractual requirements.
