Client Overview
Our client, a leading manufacturing company, required a comprehensive network enhancement to optimize infrastructure security and performance. Their servers were hosted on AWS, leveraging cloud flexibility, scalability, and robust computing capabilities. To ensure a secure, high-performing, and reliable network, they sought an advanced security solution and an optimized connectivity framework.
Business Requirements
The client needed:
- Enhanced Network Security: Implement a high-performance firewall solution to protect critical assets.
- Optimized Connectivity: Establish a secure, high-speed, and redundant network infrastructure.
- Seamless AWS Integration: Enable smooth data transfer between cloud and on-premise systems.
- Minimal Downtime During Migration: Transition to the new network architecture with minimal operational disruption.
Our Solution
➡️ Deployment of FortiGate Firewalls for Network Security:
Implemented FortiGate firewalls, known for high-performance threat intelligence and machine learning-driven security.
Provided a unified and scalable security platform to safeguard the client’s infrastructure.
➡️ Establishing a Secure and Efficient Network Backbone:
Configured Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) as the primary connection, optimizing data flow with reduced latency.
Implemented an internet connection as a secondary option to provide redundancy and ensure uninterrupted business operations.
Enabled a direct link to AWS, facilitating secure data transfer between on-premise and cloud environments.
➡️ Seamless Migration to the New Network Architecture:
Planned and executed the transition with minimal disruptions to business operations.
Tested and validated both primary and secondary connections before full deployment.
Ensured a smooth transition by monitoring network performance post-migration.
Outcome
✔️ Robust Network Security: FortiGate firewalls provided unmatched security performance, protecting the client’s infrastructure from cyber threats.
✔️ Optimized Performance and Low Latency: MPLS implementation significantly reduced latency and enhanced network efficiency, ensuring seamless data transmission.
✔️ Reliable and Redundant Connectivity: Dual connectivity (MPLS & internet) ensured business continuity by providing backup in case of primary connection failure.
✔️ Seamless Cloud Integration: Secure AWS connectivity facilitated smooth data transfer and improved operational agility.
✔️ Minimal Downtime During Migration: The transition to the new architecture was executed without disruptions, ensuring business uptime.
By implementing a secure, optimized, and redundant network infrastructure, Soffit enabled the client to achieve enhanced security, improved network performance, and seamless cloud integration. This project ensured a future-ready IT environment that supports the client’s growth and operational resilience.
