“With our firewalls failing at an alarming rate and new offices becoming difficult to configure, we knew we needed a network that could support future growth. VMware SD-WAN has helped create an automated, flexible, cloud-first infrastructure that allows us to focus on growing RGIS into the future.”
“My responsibility as CTO is to provide Michelin’s businesses with the most efficient IT and network services at the lowest cost. The deployment of our SD-WAN in 16 months at more than 200 sites worldwide now allows us to provide nearly 120,000 users with all the bandwidth they need to work with peace of mind and on an optimized budget.”
"We've seen a decrease in the complexity of our network. More importantly, Meriplex is managing our VMware SD-WAN environment for us. That has greatly improved our ability to troubleshoot and diagnose issues with a real-time proactive monitoring solution."
“It’s a tech innovation “that’s more redundant, more cost-effective, and by no way, shape or means less effective than MPLS."
“VeloCloud delivered a rich feature set and worked better than the other two solutions we tried. It’s so brilliantly designed that our proof of concept took only 30 minutes from the time we unwrapped the boxes. It didn’t take long to realize what a great solution it is.”
“Well, if you spoke to my dad we’d be opening a store in every bloody town in WA. But we’re probably just looking at opening one store a year if we can keep that limit. Wherever a good opportunity arises, we’re always willing to take it.”
"The ability of VeloCloud to remotely one-click provision virtual functions from VeloCloud as well as third parties to the thin branch Edge is very appealing."
“Our users are happy with the new situation, which is great. But we also see clear benefits from an IT perspective. Our own employees work via Citrix, which is highly efficient in terms of network traffic. But some of our partners for temporary workers use their own IT systems over our lines. We had no insight into that traffic, but with our VeloCloud SD-WAN solution we have full network visibility – meaning we can now more effectively manage application traffic and performance."
"We have partnered with VMware specifically for its SD-WAN solution. We deployed a combination of more than 700 VMware SD-WAN Edge 510 and VMware SD-WAN Edge 540 devices to extend the same level of user experience to the home as if our employees were working onsite. We are expanding our footprint to 1,000 devices as we continue expanding WFH initiatives in these difficult times of COVID-19. Thank you, Sanjay and the VMware team, for making our transition so seamless and successful.”
"VMware SD-WAN™ is a godsend. It was incredibly easy to set up and seamless to use. It’s probably saved me about an hour of time today alone in time wasted logging into the VPN. I think as we consider remote work for our division this item should be considered mandatory for optimal business performance."
“Anything that saves time and helps get to the root cause when the problem happens— and proactively before the problem happens—is a good thing. [Edge Network Intelligence] has a lot of value. I see it as an essential operational tool.”
“With SD-WAN in place, we can now start planning how to make widespread application and technology improvements because we have a flexible and robust solution that support those goals.”
“With VMware, we’ve undertaken a technology transformation while also changing our processes, governance and operating models. We’re becoming more agile and efficient, and gaining the cloud skills we need to embrace new features in the future.”
“At Café Rio, we strive to deliver an exceptional user experience to our customers which means having seamless access to all available ordering channels through which our guests want to interact with us. Using VeloCloud SD-WAN, we can easily achieve those goals.”
“We are now in a much better position to service our customers as our network is prepared to scale to all current and future technology demands.”
