Case Study: Measurement Specialties, Inc. achieves 99.99% network availability and eliminates days of downtime with NTT Global Networks

Measurement Specialties, Inc. - Customer Case Study

Measurement Specialties, Inc., a global designer and manufacturer of sensors, faced seriously degrading network performance after rapid global expansion and acquisitions that left a fragmented hub-and-spoke WAN. Internal and external communications, order processing and production were frequently disrupted — with downtime measured in days per quarter — so Measurement Specialties engaged NTT Global Networks to provide a fully managed MPLS network with DSL backup and multi-carrier best-path routing.

NTT Global Networks implemented an intelligent overlay multi-carrier MPLS backbone with DSL failover, best-path routing and 24x7 managed services to replace the brittle hub-and-spoke design and consolidate twelve global sites. NTT Global Networks’ solution delivered measurable results: network availability improved to 99.99%, days of downtime were essentially eliminated, and the managed service reduced strain on IT staff by the equivalent of one to two full-time employees.
