Fortinet Wins an SD-WAN Whopper

Fortinet signed a whopper of an SD-WAN deal to fortify Burger King’s Brazilian franchise with its Secure SD-WAN platform. The meat of the deal calls for Fortinet to deliver a hybrid-WAN deployment to all of Burger King Brazil’s Burger King and Popeyes locations in the country.

Since entering Brazil nearly 20 years ago, Burger King Brazil has opened more than 800 locations. Meanwhile Popeyes, a subsidiary of Burger King Brazil, joined the fun in 2018, and has since opened 23 locations. As part of the deal, Fortinet has already deployed is SD-WAN platform in 70 of the 823 locations.

According to Fortinet, Burger King Brazil is already seeing lower WAN costs by transitioning off of MPLS connections to a hybrid WAN using multiple broadband links. The vendor also claims Burger King Brazil’s operations teams have managed to reduce the total number of open-connectivity related incidents by roughly 26%.

“Fortinet’s security-driven networking approach to SD-WAN offers customers like Burger King Brazil increased performance, visibility, and control without sacrificing overall security,” explained John Maddison, EVP of products and CMO at Fortinet, in a statement.
