Retailers, for example, typically have a complex, dispersed network of locations, often stretching across the globe. Their businesses depend on applications like point-of-sale and inventory management running without interruption, increasingly often 24/7. An increasing reliance on bandwidth-heavy applications like VoIP and unified communications means that jitter, latency and network downtime not only put intense pressure on their networks but more importantly, have a direct impact on bottom line performance.

It’s important for retailers to be able to add new branches to their networks as quickly as possible. One of the biggest challenges that they face is the time it takes to provision new circuits, schedule installations and update application access policies.  Also, many retailers, particularly the larger ones, have grown though acquisition, so their network landscape is often a complex patchwork of designs, devices and vendors, with very little standardisation – all requiring a lot of complexity management. Adding branches is a headache.

Combining SD-WAN technology, access and identity management solutions and robust cloud security, we deliver rapid, policy-based remote configuration to get new locations connected and provide the most secure access to corporate applications – all without major reconfiguration of your existing infrastructure.
