Case Study: ProAmpac achieves 200% faster Azure Virtual WAN connectivity with Palo Alto Networks' Prisma SD-WAN

ProAmpac Leverages Prisma SD-WAN to Connect to Azure Virtual WAN 200% Faster

ProAmpac, a top-10 US packaging converter with 32 manufacturing sites, 4,000+ employees, and 5,000 customers worldwide, needed a better way to connect distributed sites to Microsoft Azure Virtual WAN. Multiple ISP links per site and the complexity of Azure’s recommended connectivity methods created significant setup and management overhead that threatened to slow operations and increase costs, so the company looked for a software-defined WAN alternative.

By deploying Palo Alto Networks Prisma SD-WAN, ProAmpac increased bandwidth, reduced reliance on costly MPLS, and simplified WAN management. The solution enabled active/active use of all ISP links by policy, boosted resilience and security, cut install time from months to under an hour, and connected to Azure Virtual WAN 200% faster—reducing costs and accelerating time to market.
