tomer that has recently done an imple-

mentation with our team:

Life Savers

A nationwide provider of healthcare

and charitable services to under-

privileged populations and disaster-

stricken areas wanted to upgrade to

an SD-WAN from its mixed legacy

system that connected 125 different

operations centers and offices via a

traditional WAN combined with IP-

based services. Key needs related

to its operational model included:

1. Highly resilient access to con-

nectivity ensures that opera-

tions would stay up and run-

ning even during disasters;

2. Consistent quality of services

across all offices to ensure

that they could provide excel-

lent support to populations

around even their smallest

offices; and

3. Prioritization of certain appli-

cations that were involved in

literally life-saving activities,

given their focus on healthcare

and emergency response.

In response to those needs, the

SD-WAN implementation included

a single operations center for the

entire network, giving the organiza-

tion the ability to manage routing

decisions during crisis situations.

The SD-WAN was also designed to

take advantage of dual broadband

access loops to ensure that even

small, remote offices get adequate

support. The SD-WAN was also

tuned to provide specialized support

to applications that are directly in-

volved in life-saving activities.

On the Farm

A manufacturing company that

specializes in farming equipment

had operations with 35 sites located

primarily in rural locations with lim-

ited telecommunications infrastruc-

ture, and they were experiencing

many of the challenges discussed

above when a WAN reaches the end

of its life-cycle. As a result they wanted

to upgrade to an SD-WAN that would

achieve a specific checklist of needs:

1. A network that would provide

equal support to every office so

that connectivity and IT perfor-

mance was uniform regardless

of where their facilities were lo-

cated;

2. Improved call quality for their VoIP

solution, given how much of its cus-

tomer interaction is done via phone

rather than other means; and

3. Increased bandwidth, but with an

eye on budget given the limited

operational expenditures it want-

ed to have on an ongoing basis

for meeting its data needs.
