Case Study

Cisco Meraki Firewall

DISTRIBUTED NETWORK MANAGEMENT ACROSS GEO LOCATIONS MADE EASY

ITWin has helped a renowned oil palm plantation company with its corporate office in Johor Bahru to resolve challenges of managing computer networks in estate offices distributed across entire Malaysia – from Peninsular Malaysia to Sabah & Sarawak in East Malaysia.

The computer network and Internet connectivity are crucial to business operation because every estate data needs to feed into the centralized application system for real-time consolidation.

Challenges

High-Availability (HA) and Load-Balancing (LB) in the Corporate Office

The corporate office subscribes to multiple Internet lines from different ISPs to provide always-up Wide-Area-Network (WAN) connectivity from all estate offices. The Internet gateway must provide the load-balancing feature to distribute Internet traffic fairly across links.

IT Support at Remote Offices

As all the remote offices scatter in remote locations across Malaysia, it is challenging for IT personnel to replace equipment like a firewall without going on site.

VPN Links and Routing between the Corporate Office and Site Offices

All the networks are linked using secure VPN connections. However, the setup and management of firewalls is not a simple task, especially when deploying new policies and routings.
