Case Study: Rudd Equipment achieves faster, more secure connectivity with Bluewave Technology Group’s SD-WAN and fiber internet solution

Rudd Equipment Uses Bluewave’s Strategic Sourcing Solution for SD-WAN and Fiber-Based Internet

Rudd Equipment, a heavy equipment distributor with 12 locations in Louisville, KY, was dealing with aging carrier equipment, bandwidth constraints, a legacy copper MPLS network, chronic outages, and security concerns. To support a move toward cloud-based applications, the company turned to Bluewave Technology Group for a strategic sourcing solution that could deliver co-managed SD-WAN and dual Internet connections.

Bluewave Technology Group implemented a co-managed SD-WAN solution that replaced the legacy MPLS network with fiber-based Internet and secondary coax connectivity at all sites, while also adding integrated cloud-based security and replacing aging premise equipment. The new setup improved speed and efficiency across locations, positioned Rudd Equipment for a future cloud transition, and reduced monthly spend by 10%, while also giving the IT team access to unlimited engineering support when needed.
