160+ Connected Branches, 99.9% Uptime: Secure Transactions Through SD-WAN Transformation
Replacing legacy infrastructure with a secure, scalable SD-WAN framework reduced downtime to near-zero, boosted operational efficiency by 50–75%, and slashed IT overhead by 20%. Discover the full impact below.
Business Challenge
The customer, a cooperative bank with 160+ branches, was facing a challenge with an aging legacy infrastructure that primarily relied on Broadband (BB) connections. They encountered several key challenges: ● Blind Spots: No centralized network visibility (~50% performance monitoring capability). ● Frequent Downtime: Manual troubleshooting caused prolonged outages. ● Security Gaps: Branches lacked firewalls, exposing them to cyber threats. ● Resource Strain: Limited in-house IT expertise led to reactive, costly operations.
Our Solution
To transform their network’s resilience and security, we implemented a solution with dual underlay Managed SD-WAN solution solution with dual underlay connectivity—MPLS and Broadband (BB) at each branch location. The solution included: ● Branch-Level Security: Embedded firewall protection across all 160+ locations. ● Centralized Threat Defense: Unified Threat Management (UTM) at the core. ● Real-Time Analytics: AI-driven dashboards boosted performance visibility by 50% (from ~50% to 75%). ● 24/7 Managed Services: Proactive monitoring and auto-failover to cut downtime.
Business Impact
● Uninterrupted Banking: 99.9% uptime ensured seamless customer transactions. ● Future-Ready: Real-time analytics (75% visibility) empowered proactive decisions. ● Security Without Complexity: Unified policies and firewalls protected 160+ branches without straining IT. ● Resource Liberation: 60% fewer IT demands let the bank focus on innovation, not firefighting. By merging SD-WAN agility with 24/7 expert management, we turned the bank’s network into a growth accelerator: ● Security-first design: Distributed firewalls + centralized UTM eliminated blind spots. ● Cost efficiency: Dual underlay (MPLS + BB) cut downtime costs while optimizing bandwidth spend. ● Future-ready: Real-time analytics and ZTP (Zero-Touch Provisioning) ensured scalability.
