Research Company in the Animal Husbandry Industry Privatises Connectivity at work, with TTBS Smart VPN
Introduction
The company is based in Mumbai and is involved in cattle genetics. It offers a semen sorting service for different breeds of bulls in India, in association with its research centres in India and abroad. It analyses the quality of cattle semen and shares the findings with a lab in Pune and another in the US to ensure the healthy breeding of animals.
To enhance its networking abilities and keep the connectivity with partner organisations secure and shielded from the risks of public internet services, the company needed a virtual private network (VPN) solution.
With MPLS-based Smart VPN offered by Tata Tele Business Services (TTBS), enterprises across India have overcome the limitations of standard internet connections. The solution brings Quality of Service (QoS) attribute enabling users to manage dynamic converged application traffic patterns. The company needed such strengths in its network. TTBS’s local presence in Mumbai – where the company has its headquarters - was also a reason to approach them for the VPN service.
Business Challenges
The organisation needed to privatise its Pune lab’s online connectivity and ensure that the applications stored on the local area network (LAN), could be safely accessed through any service provider’s data service. It was also essential to improve the performance of cloud applications by controlling the latency, jitter, and packet loss issues.
In building a secure and private LAN, the company had to take care of some specific problems:
- Employees needed sufficient speed and bandwidth to fuel the parallel functioning of multiple data sharing and collaboration apps
- The network building service had to be vendor-agnostic and costeffectively scalable
- High uptime was critical, and the solution, therefore, had to be SLA-backed
At TTBS, MPLS is a part of the Smart VPN solution that also comprises Secure Connect to privatise connection to leading cloud services – this was an advantage to address the challenges faced by the organisation.
TTBS Solution
TTBS solution architects set up a Smart VPN for the company’s Pune lab and activated it using LTE technology with SIM bonding solution – this involved SIMs from Airtel and Vodafone-Idea (VI™). The traffic could be directed through any of the data services’ paths.
With a central internet breakout at Pune, it also became easy to direct traffic from the Pune lab to other work sites, including one lab in the US.
The deployment of Smart VPN helped the company to address the challenges that it had been facing with the existing LAN supported by public internet services:
- As the solution was based on MPLS, it brought the advantage of QoS to prioritise bandwidth for applications that consumed more data – employees could now use VoIP and video-based communication apps without excessive jitter, latency, and packet loss.
- TTBS team built a seamless and secure private business network using the data services provided by two different vendors.
- The network was monitored to maintain desired performance levels round-the-clock, and TTBS offered SLA-backed uptime instead of promising it on a ‘best-effort’ basis
The company’s network, underpinned by a simple yet strong infrastructure, was scalable in line with the company’s growth. It was also protected from the risks of public internet.
Smart VPN built a high-performing private network for the company and made it feasible to avoid the vulnerabilities of standard LTE services by encrypting the connection.
