Case Study: RaceTrac achieves reliable store connectivity and Zero Trust security with Palo Alto Networks Prisma SD-WAN and Prisma SASE

RaceTrac deploys Prisma SD-WAN to 800 stores in 3 months with Palo Alto Networks

RaceTrac, a major convenience store chain, was experiencing frequent network outages that disrupted payment processing and customer service at its retail locations. Their legacy networking hardware was reaching end-of-life, so they needed a new solution that could be deployed rapidly to 800 stores and provide a highly available, resilient network. They turned to vendor Palo Alto Networks for a solution involving Prisma SD-WAN.

Palo Alto Networks provided RaceTrac with Prisma SD-WAN, which was deployed to all 800 stores in just three months. The solution eliminated the frequent outages, achieving 99.99% uptime for payment systems and reducing related trouble tickets by 70% year-over-year. The vendor's Strata Cloud Manager also provided automation and a single management pane, setting the stage for RaceTrac to implement a full Zero Trust security model in the future.
