Back to Case studyHow A Leading Machine Components Manufacturer Secured Their Network And Data Using Smart VPN - MPLS
ShareIntroduction
Founded in 1937 as a transport company, the organisation gradually expanded to become an automotive electrical and forged transmission components manufacturer. It also supplies products to non-automotive segments like valve and infrastructure equipment industries. Its reputation for focused quality and zero-defect production capabilities has earned the company both Indian and over seas clients.
Tata Tele Business Services (TTBS) has a diversified information and communications technology (ICT) product portfolio. Our fixed-line, cloud, connectivity, collaboration, cybersecurity, and IoT solutions are used by thousands of businesses in India. The enterprise chose us for a secure network to capitalise upon the brand’s rich experience and its market reach as an ICT provider.
Business Challenges
Maintaining business continuity became challenging when the pandemic transformed ‘normal’ ways of working and compelled the leadership teams to facilitate work-from-home for their staff.
While the customer’s primary operations involved manufacturing, it was willing to let a part of its employees pitch in from remote locations. However, using this system on a massive scale was challenging.
- The existing networking infrastructure necessitated the remote work force to use the standard Ethernet or Wi-Fi services available in their areas, compromising on secure connectivity
- The daily work involved the sharing of sensitive data and amplified the concerns of network channels’ security
- The organisation also had to connect its three office locations and ensure effective last-mile connectivity
Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) is the data transmission technology used to control and improve network traffic speed. MPLS is also a secure channel for networking and is not vulnerable to denial of service attacks. The organisation needed an MPLS-based virtual private network (VPN) and chose TTBS for installing a solution.
TTBS Solution
One valuating the customer’s requirements in detail, TTBS deployed its popular MPLSunderpinned Smart VPN solution.
Connecting the company’s offices and remote workers via an MPLS network helped setup efficient routes for business traffic, enhance security, achieve high QoS, and add the benefits of any-to-any connectivity.
- We connected the company’s three office locations spread across two states–Tamil Nadu and Karnataka –with high-performing MPLS supporting both data and voice communication
- The VPN introduced robust security into its network and provided the IT administrators with a webbased interface to monitor its performance
- Besides connecting the remote workforce on a private network for secured a tatransfers, the MPLS technology was a scalable way to accommodate more users as per the changing requirements
TTBS Smart VPN also enabled the organisation to use public cloud services more securely by privatising its segment on such platforms. The facility also generated faster data transfers and seamless transitions between the company’s own network and any public cloud.s
Benefits
- A secure network built for remote employees to access work files and share data
- Enhanced flow of operational knowledge between the three office locations connected on the MPLS
- An improved user experience by prioritising time-sensitive traffic and setting multiple Classes of Service (CoS)
- Simplified monitoring system introduced to evaluate network performance and security
- Reliable network uptime backed by enterprise-level SLA
- Flexible scalability to accommodate additional secure channels as and when required
