Case Study: Leading Internet Service Providing Company achieves 8x bandwidth cost savings with Happiest Minds' cost-effective SD‑WAN

Cost effective SD-WAN solution for a leading Internet service provider

Happiest Minds, a digital transformation and IT services provider, partnered with a leading Internet service provider to build a cost‑effective SD‑WAN offering. The client required an ultra‑low‑cost, programmable edge device to cut CapEx and OpEx and needed traffic measurement capabilities to enable intelligent steering and policy‑based routing.

Happiest Minds developed an OpenDaylight SDN application for dynamic, policy‑based route selection, integrated DPDK and Open vSwitch on x86 COTS hardware for high‑performance edge forwarding, and implemented traffic analysis and controller‑based network analytics. The solution delivered 8x bandwidth cost savings, site CapEx under $100, and 93% line‑rate throughput on IMIX traffic, helping the client become a leading SD‑WAN service provider and open new business opportunities.
