Case Study: Sony Pictures reduces WAN costs by 70% with Graphiant

Sony Pictures cuts WAN costs by 70% with Graphiant

Sony Pictures, a global entertainment company, faced rising costs and performance limitations with its legacy MPLS network. The architecture was misaligned with modern traffic patterns, as most data was destined for the internet and cloud, creating unnecessary latency and expense. To modernize its WAN, Sony engaged Graphiant to reduce costs, improve user experience, and simplify global operations.

By implementing Graphiant's networking platform, Sony replaced its MPLS architecture. The solution enabled direct internet breakout at each site, simplifying the network and improving application performance. This transition resulted in a 70% reduction in total WAN costs, achieving break-even within three months. Graphiant also allowed Sony to fully deploy the new network to 45 global sites in just four months and self-manage it without adding headcount, while providing enhanced security visibility.
