Network Design & InfrastructureManaged IT Services

The Challenge

A 12-site manufacturer was running aging network infrastructure with no centralized monitoring. Unplanned outages were averaging 14 hours per month, costing the company an estimated $40,000 per incident in lost production.

Our Solution

Marlin Networks designed and deployed a unified SD-WAN architecture across all 12 sites, replacing legacy MPLS circuits with redundant broadband connections. We implemented centralized network monitoring and automated failover, and migrated the company to a cloud-managed firewall platform.
