Case Study: Petrol Ofisi achieves secure, reliable SD‑WAN across 1,800+ branches with Fortinet Secure SD‑WAN

Turkey’s Leading Fuel and Lubricant Company Delivers Secure SD-WAN to 1,800+ Branch Locations

Petrol Ofisi, Turkey’s leading fuel, LPG and lubricants company with more than 1,800 service stations and extensive storage and terminal operations, needed to modernize its network to support a growing digital services portfolio. The IT team aimed for 100% business continuity by replacing expensive MPLS/satellite links with lower-cost DSL/LTE in active‑active configurations, while retaining centralized security and minimizing onsite engineering for deployments across thousands of remote branches.

Petrol Ofisi implemented Fortinet Secure SD-Branch—combining FortiGate Secure SD-WAN/NGFW, FortiSwitch, FortiNAC, FortiExtender and centralized FortiManager/FortiAnalyzer management—to deliver integrated SD-WAN, LTE redundancy and unified security. The rollout reduced device count and deployment complexity, eliminated costly MPLS/satellite links, improved connection reliability and application performance, cut support cases and operational costs, and enabled centralized policy-driven segmentation and faster threat detection.
