Rollins Inc. Implements Fortinet Secure SD-WAN at 700 Locations for Network Stability and Improved User ExperienceSUNNYVALE, Calif., May 19, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kevin Morrison, VP ITC Operations, Rollins News Summary Through its 19 wholly-owned subsidiaries, Rollins Inc. provides essential pest control services and protection against termite damage, rodents and insects to over two million customers globally. To ensure its customers can easily stay informed, Rollins prioritizes clear, quick communication at the end of each service by providing a summary of their work, which requires continued connectivity to critical resources from any location. Rollins’ existing wide area network was based on traditional routers and not only caused frequent network outages and poor application performance, but was also costly to maintain and required extended troubleshooting and deployment cycles. With over 700 locations, two data centers and multiple private cloud data centers, Rollins’ legacy deployment was no longer efficiently supporting their business needs. Further, as their organization continued to expand, Rollins realized the need to improve their security posture and enforce uniform security policies across their entire network infrastructure, without compromising the operations of its wholly owned subsidiaries. To properly address their list of requirements, Rollins needed a Secure SD-WAN solution that integrated the benefits of an SD-WAN solution — including dynamic WAN connectivity, automation, simplified management, and accurate application detection/recognition — and the advanced security of a next-generation firewall (NGFW). Rollins also added FortiExtender to enable LTE connectivity on a secondary WAN link to gain dynamic application steering benefits using Fortinet’s Secure SD-WAN solution. After reviewing SD-WAN solutions from four different networking vendors, Rollins found that Fortinet Secure SD-WAN solved for each of their unique test cases and provided all the benefits they were looking for, including:
After realizing the benefits of Fortinet Secure SD-WAN, Rollins also chose to leverage other parts of Fortinet’s broad, integrated and automated Security Fabric for additional protection. By implementing FortiCASB, Rollins gained more visibility into their SaaS access and enforcement policies, further securing these applications in the cloud. Additionally, Fortinet’s FortiClient protects remote workers from any location, on any network. By synchronizing the policie on FortiClient and FortiGate through centralized EMS, Fortinet was able to help Rollins enforce uniform policies for users on and off the network without requiring additional, costly integrations. By selecting Fortinet Secure SD-WAN, Rollins was able to improve network stability, security and end user experience across their network infrastructure while ensuring branch offices can efficiently and easily access critical cloud-based business tools and resources. Fortinet Secure SD-WAN is expected to provide Rollins with a $5 million return on investment (ROI) over the next five years. Supporting Quote “For distributed organizations like Rollins with hundreds of branch offices globally, an integrated Secure SD-WAN solution ensures business continuity and improved application experience across the entire network, while supporting the individual needs of each branch. Fortinet Secure SD-WAN is engineered to be flexible and support multiple use cases. We’re pleased to be able to support Rollins’ complex routing and deployment requirements and meet both their existing needs and any future business needs that may occur.” Additional Resources
