Case Study: Innovex achieves secure, global MPLS replacement, cost savings, and rapid deployment with Cato Networks

Innovex Replaces Global MPLS and Internet-based VPNs with Cato Cloud

Innovex, a global well‑construction and completion products company with 20+ North American locations and one site in Saudi Arabia, faced rising MPLS costs, a patchwork of MPLS and Internet VPNs, remote sites and a three‑person IT team. They needed an affordable, secure SD‑WAN replacement that included NGFW/IPS, rapid zero‑touch deployment and centralized management — and after evaluating options selected Cato Networks’ Cato Cloud and Cato Sockets.

Cato Networks deployed Cato Cloud and zero‑touch Cato Sockets to replace MPLS, site‑to‑site VPNs, remote access, firewall and IPS, delivering local Internet breakout, mobile optimization and a single global console. Innovex received three test devices in two days and had them up in ~30 minutes, rolled out 25 devices for 24 locations, connected all sites and mobile users (mobile VPN in <10 minutes), and reported significant time and cost savings versus appliance and alternate‑backbone alternatives — saving man‑hours and money while simplifying network management.
