System Integrator LAN 2 LAN has bagged coveted FortiMail Centre of Excellence status with security vendor Fortinet.
The accreditation means the Surrey-based firm is one of only three Fortinet partners which have been selected as specialist centres for the whole UK market.
To secure the accolade, LAN 2 LAN had to reach sales and engineer training standards and provide two-tier customer support services. The integrator now boasts a FortiMail specialist and a dedicated troubleshooting engineer in its team.

John Goodman, operations director at LAN 2 LAN, said: “Fortinet has been a crucial element of our growth strategy. Increasing numbers of our clients are migrating to the FortiMail platform for email security and we have invested heavily in achieving the standards demanded for Centre of Excellence status.”
Goodman added: “We have seen consistent success with proposals based on FortiMail, because the range offers market-leading catch rates for anti-spam, with a low overhead in terms of management and cost.
“This accreditation gives our customers further assurance that we can provide the expertise and knowledge they need to get the best from the technology, allowing them to make us their partner of choice for infrastructure security.”
Simon Haylock, channel manager at Fortinet, said: “Our Centres of Excellence will be the lead presence for FortiMail in the UK. Their role will be to provide the highest standards of technical consultancy and support to existing customers and new users. We expect them to become trusted partners for our end-user customers, ensuring they get maximum value from their investment in Fortinet technology.”
