CASE STUDY

VPN Failover Design with BGP

A large pool systems manufacturer leveraged Plurilock to build a redundant IPSec VPN solution. The company was moving their headquarters from New Jersey to North Carolina while experiencing significant growth, necessitating increased redundancy. The existing VPN design only had a single ISP at each branch office. The company had Fortinet firewalls in place and wanted ton use the existing equipment at the various offices.

THE Challenge

The company has a global presence with offices worldwide, and COVID caused rapid growth while recent IT staff turnover made it difficult to optimize their VPN design. The existing design had single points of failure, which they wanted to eliminate with a dynamic, redundant solution in case of ISP failure.

Results

  • Deployment of a highly redundant and dynamic VPN solution across multiple offices worldwide
  • The company’s staff could focus on other critical IT initiatives, while Plurilock’s experts handled this project
  • Plurilock managed the entire project from initial design to completion and support, providing the company with a single point of contact

Solutions

  • Reviewed existing design and configurations
  • Suggested a new design with multiple ISPs at each location
  • Used BGP routing protocol to detect and reroute VPN traffic during ISP failure
  • Staged configurations for each remote office in advance
  • Worked with the company’s personnel to implement changes during maintenance windows, typically early on Saturday mornings

    The company’s staff could focus on other critical IT initiatives, while Plurilock’s experts handled this project
