Case Study: SANNE achieves simplified Citrix access, lower latency and major cost savings with Cato Networks' Cato Cloud

Replace Internet and MPLS, Simplifying Citrix Access and Improving Performance with Cato Cloud

SANNE, a global provider of alternative asset and corporate administration services, faced poor and unpredictable Citrix performance, limited visibility, slow MPLS deployment times and prohibitive MPLS costs across its distributed sites. To solve these issues the company evaluated SD‑WAN options and selected Cato Networks’ Cato Cloud to replace a patchwork of Internet links and expensive MPLS circuits while simplifying Citrix access for small remote offices.

Cato Networks connected SANNE’s locations to Cato Cloud, eliminating the mixed Internet/MPLS architecture and delivering instant visibility, Active Directory integration for single sign‑on to Citrix, and active/active failover via Cato Sockets. The change reduced round‑trip latency by nearly 20%, cut WAN costs dramatically (SANNE now spends £18,000/year on local DIA versus MPLS quotes of £180,000/year or an estimated £500,000 over three years), improved user experience and simplified deployment and network management.
