Case Study: Teleflex achieves optimized global connectivity and reduced bandwidth costs with Palo Alto Networks Prisma SD-WAN

Teleflex Deploys Prisma SD-WAN to Optimize Connectivity and Control Cost

Teleflex, a global medical-technology company that designs and manufactures single‑use devices for hospitals, faced rapidly rising and hard‑to‑predict bandwidth costs, limited visibility into application usage, and the need for greater network resilience as it adopted cloud services and collaboration apps like SharePoint and Skype for Business. Its legacy firewall‑based VPN mesh and expensive MPLS links for voice constrained bandwidth use and forced reactive, costly circuit upgrades.

Teleflex deployed Palo Alto Networks Prisma SD‑WAN at roughly 90% of its sites to aggregate and fully utilize all purchased circuits, prioritize business‑critical traffic, and migrate the VPN mesh to an SD‑WAN architecture while keeping existing firewalls. The solution delivered centralized visibility, allowed use of dormant backup and cheaper commodity links to increase capacity without extra line charges, improved voice/video performance, reduced utilization‑related support cases, and provided greater resilience and cost‑effectiveness.
