Netmarks and Versa Networks Revolutionize Automotive Sector with Cutting-Edge SD-WAN Solution
INTRODUCTION
In today’s digital landscape, the need for reliable and robust network connectivity is more crucial than ever. As business seek to enhance operational efficiency, they are increasingly adopting innovative solutions. Netmarks Philippines Inc., a leader in high-class technology solutions, has joined forces with Versa Networks, a standout in the solution that not only simplifies but also secures modern networks, allowing organizations to adapt to changing demand while maintaining string security measures.
This partnership has led to a significant project aimed at transforming the network infrastructure of a key client in the automotive sector. The initiative focuses on implementing a Software-Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN) to replace outdated MPLS lines, resulting in reduced operational costs, increased bandwidth, and enhanced redundancy through multiple internet service providers.
Leveraging the innovative VOS™ platform, Versa SASE provides a wide array of capabilities essential for building agile and secure enterprise networks. By integrating this cutting-edge SD-WAN solution, Netmarks Philippines Inc. empowers clients to connect seamlessly across branches and to applications, whether in home offices or remote locations. This collaboration not only strengthens network infrastructure but also equips organizations with the agility necessary to sustain operational integrity in an ever-evolving technological landscape.
THE CHALLENGE
The client faced significant challenges with their existing network setup, which relied heavily on traditional MPLS connections. These connections not only incurred high costs but also limited bandwidth and redundancy. Additionally, the availability of internet connections at certain sites posed a challenge, making the migration from MPLS to an SDWAN solution even more critical. As the demand for seamless connectivity for critical applications grew, it became clear that a more agile and cost-effective solution was essential. The need for enhanced domestic network connectivity or a next gen firewall (NGFW) was prioritized to ensure reliable links between various branches and the headquarters.
THE SOLUTION
Netmarks Philippines Inc. proposed the implementation of Versa Networks’ SD-WAN solution to facilitate multi-site connectivity using internet lines for connecting various branches to the headquarters. This transition to a Software-Defined WAN not only eliminates the reliance/dependence on costly/expensive MPLS but also improves bandwidth capabilities and stability across the network.
THE RESULT
The implementation of the SD-WAN solution significantly transformed the client’s network infrastructure. With enhanced bandwidth and reliable connections, the organization experienced improved performance and efficiency across all branches. The shift to a more modern network architecture not only reduced operational costs but also established a highly available network connectivity framework. This change allowed for seamless integration of critical applications, reinforcing the overall reliability of business operations.
Additionally, instead of managing each site separately, a single pane of glass/management was introduced, allowing the client to complete oversight and control over their entire network. Furthermore, the client benefited from reduced monthly charges for internet bills, resulting in substantial savings.
SERVICES
For this project, Netmarks Philippines Inc. provided pre-configuration, installation, and deployment of the SD-WAN solution across 10 working days at 8 sites, including 3 major locations nationwide. The plug-and-play approach ensured a seamless transition, allowing for quick implementation with minimal disruption to ongoing operations.
