About the Authors
Rosato Fabbri, 50 years old, has been the IT Manager for Need s.r.l. for the last 10 years. The company has more than a thousand users spread across eight sites (a national headquarters in Italy and a network of remote offices abroad). Need's network is entirely based on FortiGate appliances and on secure VPNs over the Internet. Rosato used his first FortiGate in 2003 and for him it was "love at first sight". He fully used the competitive advantage of Fortinet technology, both in functionalities and in features and that advantage made Need a use case, enabling the company to gain the trust of its customers and adding a lead over competitors.
