Case Study: O-I achieves faster, more secure global connectivity and cost savings with Cato SASE Cloud

O-I Taps Augmented Reality and Cato SASE Cloud to Realize “Impossible-to-Count” Savings

O-I, one of the world’s largest glass bottle and jar manufacturers, needed to modernize its network and security as it shifted more applications to the cloud, expanded Microsoft 365 use, and abruptly supported a large remote workforce during COVID-19. Its legacy MPLS, VPN, and firewall approach was becoming too slow, costly, and difficult for a small IT team to maintain.

O-I chose Cato Networks’ Cato SASE Cloud to replace and simplify networking and security across nearly 200 locations and thousands of home users. With Cato Networks, O-I improved application performance, strengthened security, and enabled hybrid work and remote troubleshooting with Microsoft HoloLens; the company also reported about 20% savings in communications costs compared with its previous setup.
