Case Study: Vandemoortele unifies hybrid network, guarantees application performance and cuts IT costs with Infovista

Vandemoortele Unifying Hybrid Network to Guarantee Application Performance and Save on IT Costs

Vandemoortele, the European market leader in frozen bakery products and margarines & fats with 54 sites across 12 countries, faced rising WAN demand after centralizing datacenters and moving critical SAP functions to a central deployment. The company needed to guarantee SAP availability for production lines, optimize the use of two redundant MPLS providers (T-Systems and Interoute) to reduce IT costs, and gain business-driven application performance management. To meet these needs Vandemoortele selected Infovista’s Application Aware SD‑WAN / Hybrid Network Unification solution.

Infovista implemented a single, application-aware system—combining visibility, QoS & control, WAN optimization and dynamic WAN selection—integrated into Vandemoortele’s T‑Systems managed service. The solution dynamically uses 100% of the capacity across both MPLS links, eliminating performance brownouts and delivering guaranteed application performance and continuity. Measurable results include full use of paid bandwidth (e.g., effectively gaining the full 4 Mb from two 2 Mb links instead of a previously usable 3 Mb), predictable costs, and 100% availability/performance guarantees for business-critical applications.
