Download Case Study
Challenges
Enterprise customers of the Client were using MPLS connectivity to access the applications hosted in Datacenter from the Branch offices which impacted application performance
Traffic was backhauling to Datacenter while accessing the applications hosted in AWS which created latency in accessing the applications
Internet break out in Branch offices limited the performance of user access
Solution
- Cloud enabled SD-WAN Gateway for Branch office users
- IP Sec VPN /GRE tunnel provisioning for branch offices over the internet
- Policy based routing for critical applications in Private and Public cloud infrastructure using Firewall as a service
- One touch provisioning of Branch offices connectivity from SD-WAN gateway
- Configuration management and policy enforcement for branch office services
- Cloud enabled Centralized Zero touch management of Branch office connectivity
Outcomes
- Flexibility by implementing security as an overlay service rather than having to deploy hardware at the branch location
- Cloud based SD-WAN gateway for security enforcement rather than routing the traffic back through Datacenter to reach a security appliance
- Optimized Network performance and improved security
- Hub and Spoke and Mesh Topology with Cloud-based internet break out services for Branch offices
