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.
