Fortinet has closed the acquisition of Meru Networks, expanding on its secure wireless vision to address the $5bn global enterprise Wi-Fi market with integrated and intelligent secure wireless solutions.
Fortinet's solutions in secure Wi-Fi markets, with its FortiAP secure wireless access points and FortiWiFi integrated security appliances for enterprise branch offices and small businesses, have been among the fastest growing products in the company's 'advanced technologies' portfolio.
The addition of Meru's intelligent Wi-Fi solutions to the Fortinet portfolio extends the delivery of a secure, uninterrupted user experience - anytime anywhere - providing peak performance in environments requiring high capacity load and a high-density of wireless users, such as enterprise, education, healthcare, and hospitality.
"To truly protect against all possible attack vectors, we are continuing to expand our end-to-end security platform to provide customers with the visibility and continuous threat protection they need - from the data centre to the cloud to the end-point," said Ken Xie, founder, Chairman and CEO of Fortinet.
"We expect the acquisition of Meru to help us deliver new solutions and services to help enterprises of all sizes deploy, manage, and secure wired and wireless networks in a mobile era."
