Introduction
A privately held company based in Pune, the organisation is committed to improving organic agriculture practices. The company owns four brands that work together to ensure the delivery of pure and healthy foods and medications to consumers. The responsibilities of these divisions are:
- Facilitating the supply of products from farms to business units and helping farmers get the best prices for their crops
- Processing quality agro-products with sustainable packaging
- Forecasting customers' future needs to provide them with innovative and healthy products at affordable prices
- Managing a digital pharmacy network to deliver medicines, health supplements, and other healthcare FMCG products directly to consumers
Business Challenges
The company needed a virtual WAN architecture to facilitate smooth communications between its employees working from different locations. It also needed to build a private network on which cloud applications could be secure. Furthermore, it had to ensure that time-critical traffic moved speedily over the best network link for optimum business productivity.
After discussing with the TTBS team on the implementation, the company leadership chose Tata Tele Business Services’ (TTBS) SD-WAN iFLX. The company appreciated its strategies for simplifying WAN architecture while at the same time reducing costs. The optimal uptime and deep visibility into network performance were also the reasons to choose TTBS over other business telecom service providers.
TTBS Solution
TTBS addressed the network challenges faced by the company with the deployment of its SD-WAN iFLX. It brought in operational simplicity, applicationlevel prioritization and visibility, integrated security, and the enterprise application environment that the business needed.
Here’s how TTBS solution upgraded the company’s WAN with better performance and more security:
- Being an SLA-backed service, it optimised the uptime and offered autofailover to support business processes if there was an outage on the primary network path.
- SD-WAN iFLX enabled the company to prioritise its network traffic using QoS – its routing intelligence optimised the available connectivity for best-user experience with voice, video, and other cloud apps that needed high bandwidth.
- Offering a centralised control function to manage traffic, SD-WAN iFLX also brought advanced security with protection from malware, viruses, and botnets.
As SD-WAN is a vendor-agnostic solution, our solution architects made the best use of available last-mile connectivity resources to enhance network performance.
TTBS SD-WAN iFLX brought all WAN locations on a unified network and improved collaboration between teams.
The company could now also have granular visibility into its network’s performance and get analytical reports on the working of all applications.
