Case Study: Stagecoach boosts network performance and resilience with Node4 SD-WAN

Stagecoach boosts bandwidth nearly 8x with Node4

Stagecoach, a major UK public transport company, faced significant challenges with its legacy WAN infrastructure, which lacked bandwidth, security, and integration. This outdated network was a critical barrier to the company's cloud-first strategy, causing avoidable downtime and offering no real-time visibility into performance for its IT team. To address this, they partnered with Node4 to implement a Secure SD-WAN solution.

Node4 deployed a robust SD-WAN that replaced copper with high-capacity fibre, providing a secure and high-performance network with centralized control. The results were transformative, with bandwidth increasing nearly eight-fold from 8Mbps to 60Mbps. The new network's resilience was proven when it seamlessly handled an outage without impact, and it successfully supported the rollout of Microsoft Office 365 and Teams, which was crucial for remote operations during lockdowns. Node4's solution provided the foundation for Stagecoach's operational efficiency and cloud adoption.
