Nappi Distributors Enhances Network Security and Stability with Blue Mantis Solutions
Challenges
- Limited IT budget and resources
- Aging IT hardware nearing or at their end of support terms
- Unmanaged network unable to scale for growth and security management
Solution Overview
Nappi Distributors, established in 1960 and one of Maine’s largest beer and wine distributors, faced significant IT challenges. Nappi’s top concerns were network security, outdated servers, and aging IT infrastructure that was unable to scale with their business needs. Indu Gupta, IT Director at Nappi Distributors, connected with Blue Mantis to collaborate on solutions to address the company’s issues. Blue Mantis experts replaced Nappi’s outdated hardware with flexible and scalable Cisco appliances. The new appliances act as both scalable firewall solutions and managed network switches. Not only did this upgrade help control costs, it also enabled new network segmentations that alleviated IP address conflicts while identifying potential cybersecurity issues.
In addition, Gupta also leveraged Blue Mantis Managed Services to deploy a robust alert monitoring system with a monthly patching cadence for Nappi’s servers and network devices—including new IoT sensors. This comprehensive approach ensured that Nappi Distributors’ network is secure, stable, and primed for strategic growth.
