Optimizing network monitoring for the union sector

Optimizing the network

Objectives

  • Centralize the monitoring of Fortinet equipment (APs, switches) with real-time graphs showing status and user counts.

  • Monitor the status, bandwidth, and availability of VPN tunnels with alerts.
  • Set up custom monitoring for Audiocode devices.
  • Reduce operational costs with endpoint-based pricing.

The Challenge

Our client, operating within a complex Windows server environment with multiple switches and Fortinet firewalls, was struggling with a lack of visibility. Critical information about the status of their access points (APs) and switches was siloed within their FortiGate. This required manual and reactive checks, which proved inefficient.

They also needed to monitor a specific Audiocode device used for VoIP. The challenge was to centralize monitoring, automate alerts, and replace a solution deemed less effective and more costly.

The solution

Prival deployed blësk monitoring solution to meet the client’s needs, configuring the automatic extraction of status data from FortiGate and developing custom dashboards for real-time visualization.

A proactive alert system was implemented to flag any anomalies, such as a switch failure, with a tailored integration carried out for the Audiocode device, showcasing the flexibility of our solution.

Results

  • Centralized visibility: comprehensive and automated monitoring of the entire network infrastructure.
  • Increased proactivity: real-time alerts enable quick problem resolution before they impact operations.
  • Cost optimization: significant cost reduction thanks to a more advantageous pricing model.
