Case Study: James Walker Group gains WAN visibility and better capacity planning with Plixer Scrutinizer

James Walker Group - Customer Case Study

James Walker Group, a global manufacturing company with 1,800 employees across 50 sites, needed better visibility into its vast WAN. The team struggled to understand network usage, plan capacity, and determine whether traffic was legitimate business activity. They turned to Plixer and its Scrutinizer flow monitoring solution to gain insight into traffic across their global network.

Plixer implemented Scrutinizer to collect NetFlow and sFlow data from James Walker Group’s Cisco routers and Dell switches, giving the IT team an easy-to-use dashboard and drill-down capabilities. The solution quickly helped them identify what machines were sending data, spot potential misuse or misconfiguration, and improve capacity planning for existing and new sites. As a result, James Walker Group now uses the tool daily and has the visibility needed to troubleshoot issues faster and make better WAN upgrade decisions.
