Back to Case studyLeading Commercial Construction Service Provider Uses SD-WAN iFLX to Connect its Offices to a High-Performance Private Network
ShareIntroduction
A real-estate development company headquartered in Gurgaon- whihc manages commercial projects in metropolitan cities. With a team of experienced architects, engineers and interior designers, it is known for delivering quality construction services to all its clients.
The company has successfully delivered projects which include shopping malls, high-end retail shops, hypermarkets, food courts, restaurants and ATM kiosks. The team pays special attention to structural strength, safety, durability and aesthetics in all the structures they build. Their business vision is to continue to generate value in the real estate industry in a way that contributes to the making of a self-reliant nation.
The company’s IT team contacted Tata Tele Business Services (TTBS) for SD-WAN solution to create a secure private network connecting its head offices and branch offices. When TTBS offered a personalised demonstration of its SD-WAN iFLX solution, the team was impressed to see that it was easy to deploy and came with numerous features with high uptime and network security.
After receiving permission from the company leadership, the IT team asked TTBS to implement an SD-WAN network solution to connect their offices.
Business Challenges
Although the company’s head office and branch offices were located in different areas, the employees working from these locations had to maintain contact for effective collaboration on the projects being handled by the branch. These workspaces needed a private network with high availability for direct access to data stored in the servers at the head office and for routine usage of applications that consumed significant bandwidth.
In addition to the head office, seven offices had to be connected over a Wide Area Network (WAN) link. The company wanted to upgrade to SD-WAN without changing the existing WAN links. This was to make sure that the links were more reliable while running critical enterprise applications efficiently.
The top expectations from SD-WAN iFLX solution were:
- Encrypted connectivity that would enable employees to securely communicate over private Internet Protocols (IPs)
- Ease of channelising traffic through alternative routes for optimum user experience on all applications that were critical for productivity
- Visibility into network performance
With multiple vendors offering data services to different offices, the networkbuilding solution had to be telco-agnostic. To support this, a Service Level Agreement (SLA) had to be entered into regarding availability.
TTBS Solution

Our SD-WAN iFLX solution with its WAN path controller feature enabled resourceful bandwidth utilisation and helped in load balancing. The solution also provided the organisation the benefit of auto-failover ensuring that the network was always available for the employees in all locations.
