Case Study: KEMET (global electronic components manufacturer) achieves a secure, high-performance cloud-first WAN and 50% cost savings with Open Systems

Optimize Performance of Cloud Apps, Secure Cloud Connectivity and Reduce Costs by 50%

KEMET, a global electronic components manufacturer with more than 15,000 employees across 60 locations, needed to execute a cloud‑first digital transformation while maintaining a flexible, resilient WAN, low latency for cloud applications, and centralized security across on‑premises and cloud environments. Lacking the resources to build a private cloud and facing rising cyberthreats, KEMET selected Open Systems and its Secure SD‑WAN / SASE capabilities (including Multi‑Cloud Connect) to meet those demands.

Open Systems implemented its Secure SD‑WAN core and security functions plus Multi‑Cloud Connect to provide end‑to‑end visibility, managed security, and automated SOC monitoring from edge to cloud. The deployment delivered optimized global application performance, seamless hybrid‑cloud integration, improved protection and user experience, and roughly 50% savings compared with KEMET’s previous WAN expenditures.
