As businesses evolve and expand, many companies are establishing branch offices or opening overseas offices. However, managing remote network access becomes a headache in such scenarios. This article will showcase a case study demonstrating how SD-WAN networking can effectively address the challenges of remote networking and cross-border access.

Background:

The client operates factories in three geographically distant regions and has a requirement to station personnel in overseas offices due to industry demands. However, the current network infrastructure presents challenges such as inefficient information transfer, frequent network interruptions, and slow access to company systems.

Additionally, the three factories prioritize data security, and conventional communication methods fall short in providing adequate information security. The company also needs to establish overseas network channels for end-term testing, and balancing stability and cost-effectiveness with traditional approaches proves challenging.

To address the client’s needs, we recommend implementing an SD-WAN networking solution:

SD-WAN Networking:

Deploy SD-WAN devices in the factories across the three regions, ensuring efficient and stable information interconnection through intelligent route invocation.

Data Centers:

Allocate lines from SD-WAN devices to the data centers in the three locations. Perform optimal route detection through the data centers, avoiding faulty networks and ensuring smooth internal network access.

Cross-Border Backbone Network:

Connect each data center to PE edge devices via independent lines, fulfilling the company’s cross-border access requirements.

Solution Advantages:

Rapid Deployment: SD-WAN activation requires only one working day at a minimum, without disrupting regular company operations.

High Network Compatibility and Stability: Through dedicated lines, all three locations achieve equal external network access bandwidth, ensuring compatibility and stability.

Cost Reduction: By connecting two regional data centers to a shared server and utilizing a shared line for resource access, costs associated with the network infrastructure are reduced.

Client Benefits:

Overseas Access Latency Reduction: A decrease of over 50% in latency for overseas access.

Network Management Efficiency: Centralized management by SD-WAN reduces network operations and maintenance tasks by over half.

Through the implementation of the SD-WAN networking solution, the client successfully resolved challenges related to remote networking and cross-border access. Leveraging global SD-WAN’s intelligent route invocation, data center deployment, and cross-border backbone network, the company achieved efficient and stable information interconnection, resulting in improved work efficiency and reduced network operations and maintenance costs.
