Case Study: Banca Popolare di Sondrio achieves improved application performance and full WAN visibility with Extreme Networks' ExtremeCloud SD‑WAN

Banca Popolare di Sondrio Enhances Application Performance and Management With SD-WAN

Banca Popolare di Sondrio, a 151-year-old Italian bank with nearly 3,000 employees and 500 branches, needed reliable, high-performance connectivity to support new digital services. The bank struggled with limited WAN visibility, hard-to-diagnose network performance issues across its MPLS footprint, and reliance on multiple diagnostic tools, so it engaged Extreme Networks and its ExtremeCloud SD-WAN (formerly Ipanema) solution to address these gaps.

Extreme Networks deployed ExtremeCloud SD-WAN using a hybrid architecture that required no additional branch appliances, enabling dynamic traffic management, optimization protocols and virtual bandwidth to reduce transmitted data. The deployment delivered instant, site-by-site application visibility, granular performance alerts for faster troubleshooting, and clearer capacity-planning insights—giving Banca Popolare di Sondrio the ability to proactively manage QoS and confidently scale network capacity as digital services grow.
