A manufacturing enterprise confronted the challenge of having MPLS dedicated lines at the headquarters and ordinary broadband connections at its branch locations. In such a scenario, reducing network costs and enhancing efficiency became an urgent priority. This article will delve into how the enterprise tackled these issues by deploying global SD-WAN to achieve seamless connectivity.

Network Pain Points and Requirements Analysis:

The enterprise faced major issues such as high network costs, significant network latency, and insufficient reliability. The requirements analysis aimed to:

Effectively utilize existing broadband connections at branch locations to reduce network operational costs.

Improve network transmission efficiency by optimizing traffic management to meet the demands of high real-time business requirements.

Enhance network reliability by implementing redundancy and load balancing, ensuring high availability to maintain normal business operations.

Implement a user-friendly network management system to reduce the costs associated with centralized management.

Deploying global SD-WAN effectively addressed these requirements:

Global SD-WAN is a software-based networking solution that leverages virtualization technology to integrate multiple network connection types into a single network, offering an innovative solution for enterprise networking.

Reducing Network Costs: Global SD-WAN seamlessly integrates various network connections, allowing the headquarters to retain a stable MPLS network, while branch locations continue to benefit from cost-effective broadband. There is no need to dismantle or redeploy either network.

Improving Network Efficiency: Through intelligent routing, application optimization, and traffic management, global SD-WAN flexibly manages different network connections, meeting high real-time business requirements and ensuring stability and priority for critical operations.

Enhancing Network Reliability: Global SD-WAN technology supports redundancy and load balancing, elevating network reliability and high availability, guaranteeing uninterrupted enterprise operations.

Simplifying Network Management: The centralized management platform simplifies the unified management and monitoring of branch networks, reducing the manpower and financial costs associated with network management.

In a scenario where the headquarters employs MPLS dedicated lines and branches use ordinary broadband, the introduction of international SD-WAN has proven to be an effective way for the enterprise to reduce network costs, improve network performance, and ensure reliability. Through international SD-WAN, enterprises can adeptly address diverse location, network, and business requirements, providing robust support for sustainable business growth.
