Town of Suffield - Firewall Reconfiguration

Summary:  The Town of Suffield, Conn. was first settled in 1670 and currently has a population of over 13,500. The town requested that WCA create a solution to analyze their existing town and public schools’ network to replace and reconfigure their aging firewall, Barracuda, and iBOSS solutions.

Challenges:  The assessment of the client’s two different environment was completed and WCA provided a proposal that addressed all the clients concerns.  WCA also proposed to migrate all the existing firewall rules to the new SonicWall firewalls.
