Case Study: Novaland achieves fail-safe, cost-effective Hybrid WAN (MPLS alternative) with Peplink

Novaland Estate Agent Branch Networking

Novaland, a leading real estate investment agency in Asia, needed a reliable, cost-effective alternative to MPLS to connect its headquarters, branches and showrooms. Faced with high MPLS costs and a single point of failure that risked downtime for ERP, file hosting and accounting systems, Novaland turned to Peplink and its Balance series with SpeedFusion WAN virtualization to build a hybrid WAN using leased lines, fiber and DSL for redundancy.

Peplink deployed Balance 710 units in High Availability at headquarters (with 7 WAN links) and Balance 305/380/580 devices at branches, using up to three WAN links per site to form private SpeedFusion tunnels back to HQ and managing configurations with InControl 2. The new Peplink solution delivered bonded higher bandwidth, seamless failover, easy scalability for adding branches, and dramatic cost savings — $5.65/Mbps versus $267/Mbps — while providing the always-on connectivity Novaland required.
