Major U.S. Law Firm Turbocharges Its Switching Infrastructure With The Fortinet Security Fabric
Fortinet News, Tuesday, September 19,2023
Fast and effective networks are fundamental to the legal profession. Every day, lawyers and their support teams must exchange information such as case files, legal documents, and client data. Interruption to these data streams can result in reduced productivity and a drop in client service levels. Security is also critical because sensitive legal data is a tempting target for hackers.
With these considerations in mind, one large U.S. law firm with offices across the country set out on a large-scale network transformation. After the company deployed a software-defined wide area network (SD-WAN) between their remote sites using Fortinet Secure SD-WAN, it determined that it also needed to overhaul its switching infrastructure in its data center, large offices, and small branches.
The firm's legacy core data center switches had reached the end of their operational life and required a spanning tree to operate. The firm required new data center-class switches with 100-gigabit internal segmentation capabilities and deep buffer switching.
