Case Study: Sibelco achieves guaranteed critical application performance and cost-effective branch operations with Infovista (Ipanema)

Critical Applications Performance is guaranteed cost effectively

Sibelco, a Belgian multinational industrial minerals company with about 145 European sites and ~10,000 employees, needed to protect performance for critical on‑premise (Infor M3) and cloud (SF.com) applications while managing 60% very small, costly branch offices, securing Tandberg voice/video, and controlling shadow IT across an MPLS+Internet hybrid. To solve this, Sibelco deployed Easynet’s Smart Application Assurance (SAA) service powered by Infovista’s Ipanema technology.

Infovista’s Ipanema, delivered via Easynet SAA and compact Nano boxes at branches, gave application‑centric visibility, dynamic traffic steering across MPLS and Internet, and prioritized SLAs with real‑time reports. The deployment guaranteed performance for Infor M3, SF.com, Citrix and Tandberg, cut Mean Time to Innocence by three (3x), sped IT transformation rollouts by three months, maximized hybrid‑network continuity, and delivered cost‑effective branch performance.
