WIN Enterprises supplies many networking and network security solutions providers with hardware platform products. The applications of the particular network security solutions provider dealt with in this case study span the following applications:

• Firewall
• IPSec
• VPN
• Anti-Virus
• Anti-Spyware
• Intrusion Prevention
• Web Content Filtering
• And more...

The Problem: The Company's line of network security products had reached end-of-life (EOL). For their next generation of products they had tried an off-shore source for their hardware platforms, but the quality of these units had proved to be not up to their requirements, and this was quickly becoming an issue in the market.

The Solution: The Company decided to go back to their original platform manufacturer; the one who had designed their original very long-lived and successful product line--WIN Enterprises.

WIN has design and manufacturing operation in both North America and Asia and could more than compete on technology, quality, service, and price. Because of WIN's extensive experience in designing network devices in a wide variety of formats, they were able to design three new units that spanned the customers entire product line needs: desktop, IU and 2U rack-mount--and did so in a surprisingly brief amount of time.

Branding: In order to create branded units with unique look and features, WIN designed front-end bezels for each unit that provided the customer with further market differentiation-i.e., a purpose built product line.

The Company's hardware designs are based on Company-specific modifications to WIN's:

These units form the basis of the Company's new product line.

The new product line for this customer has won several network security industry awards and is selling well.
