GTT Expands SD-WAN Portfolio by Adding Fortinet Secure SD-WAN

GTT delivers Fortinet Secure SD-WAN as a managed service and supports any last-mile access solution to meet specific client requirements for advanced security, application performance and cost efficiency.
The addition of Fortinet enhances GTT’s existing managed SD-WAN service offerings for enterprise clients.

The GTT SD-WAN offering that uses Fortinet technology includes integrated next generation firewall and unified threat management functionality combined with an SD-WAN edge device and router, providing an attractive return on investment with robust security features. The GTT SD-WAN service offering with Fortinet is particularly suitable for distributed enterprises and branch networking applications in industries such as retail, quick service restaurants, hospitality and financial services.

“Clients rely on GTT to securely connect their locations across the world and to every application in the cloud,” stated Rick Calder, GTT president and CEO. “Our broad portfolio of SD-WAN service options, that now includes Fortinet, ensures that clients can run their applications with superior security, performance and reliability to support their business goals.”
