Case Study: Salesforce boosts network scalability and bandwidth with Palo Alto Networks Prisma SD-WAN

Salesforce boosts bandwidth 500% with Palo Alto Networks Prisma SD-WAN

Salesforce, Inc., a global high-tech company, faced significant challenges scaling its legacy MPLS-based WAN architecture to meet employee needs. The system was difficult to manage, could not support direct internet connectivity at branch offices, and struggled with the bandwidth demands of increased cloud application use. To address this, Salesforce turned to Palo Alto Networks for a modern solution.

Palo Alto Networks implemented its Prisma SD-WAN solution, which provided application awareness, centralized management, and a zone-based firewall. This resulted in a 500% average increase in bandwidth with no additional WAN costs and improved network resilience and security. The solution delivered an ROI of up to 243% for Salesforce, dramatically enhancing scalability and user experience across its more than 70 global offices.
