Customer Pain Points

Customer : Leading Financial Services & Broking firm Head-quartered at Chennai.

Requirement : Meraki SD-WAN Deployment Across India at over 100 branches.

Separate Connectivity for Internet & DC Applications

Current setup involves dual WAN configuration with dedicated internet for general use and MPLS for data center access, leading to under utilized bandwidth and redundant link costs.

High MPLS Link Costs with Limited Scalability

MPLS circuits are expensive and time-consuming to provision, making it difficult to scale as the organization expands to more branches.

Lack of Centralized Visibility and Control

No single-pane-of-glass to monitor network health, application performance, or device status across distributed locations.

Manual Configuration and Updates

Traditional routers require on-site configuration, leading to longer deployment times and increased operational overhead.

Suboptimal Application Performance

No application-aware routing or traffic prioritization, affecting the performance of critical business applications like ERP, VoIP, and video conferencing.

Limited Redundancy and Failover Capabilities

Failover between MPLS and broadband (if any) is not seamless, causing service interruptions during outages.
