Geofabrics Transforms Network Performance with Oreta and Fortinet SD-WAN

Geofabrics is a leading provider of geosynthetic products and solutions in Australia and New Zealand. Headquarters in Melbourne, Victoria, the organisation operates across multiple regions, supporting a wide range of infrastructure and environmental projects.

Challenges

Geofabrics was experiencing limitations with its legacy network infrastructure. The existing environment struggled to meet growing demands for increased bandwidth, secure connectivity, and support for a rising number of remote sites. To stay competitive and maintain operational efficiency, Geofabrics needed to improve network performance, enhance its security posture, and optimise operational costs.

Solution

Oreta designed and implemented a comprehensive Fortinet SD-WAN solution tailored to Geofabrics’ specific requirements. This included the deployment of Fortinet SD-WAN appliances and managed switches across multiple sites to establish a resilient, high-performance network. FortiClient EMS was integrated to enable secure and scalable remote access for users across distributed locations, while FortiAnalyzer was introduced to provide centralised monitoring, analytics, and improved visibility into network and security events. The end-to-end network design delivered by Oreta ensured seamless connectivity, optimal application performance, and strong enterprise-wide security. Importantly, the SD-WAN solution was integrated with Geofabrics’ existing infrastructure, ensuring minimal disruption during the transition and creating a scalable platform for future growth.

Outcome

The new SD-WAN environment delivered measurable improvements to Geofabrics’ network operations, security, and scalability. Key benefits included:

  • Fortinet SD-WAN appliances deployed across multiple Geofabrics locations, delivering a unified and robust network environment
  • Significant improvements in network speed, reliability, and cybersecurity defences
  • Seamless integration of SD-WAN components with existing systems and workflows
  • Reduced ongoing network management costs
  • Improved scalability to support continued business expansion
