Case Study: Dayton Superior achieves seamless application uptime and cost savings with Oracle SD‑WAN

Dayton Superior delivers concrete foundation for business with an Oracle (formerly Talari) SD-WAN

Dayton Superior, a $400M provider of concrete construction supplies with 1,200 employees across 30 global sites, needed a more resilient and cost‑effective WAN. Its legacy MPLS/T1 setup left backup links idle until a primary failure and caused dropped calls and application sessions during cutovers, creating downtime and wasted bandwidth.

By deploying Oracle SD‑WAN (Talari) Dayton Superior made links active‑active, prioritized voice, ERP and VDI traffic, and aggregated broadband for higher, lower‑cost capacity. The result: seamless failover with no dropped sessions, simplified management and troubleshooting via Oracle Aware, removal of WAN optimizers, and a roughly 3:1 ROI (avoiding about $1M in MPLS costs over three years) while enabling better user experience and greater provider flexibility.
