Case Study: The Sol Group (Caribbean petroleum company) achieves simplified global network management and reduced TCO with Riverbed SteelConnect SD‑WAN

The Sol Group - Customer Case Study

The Sol Group, the largest independent petroleum marketer in the Caribbean, operates 40 local offices across 23 countries supplying fuels and petroleum products to retail and commercial customers. Faced with diverse regulations and technologies, the company needed to centralize key applications while controlling the cost and complexity of a hybrid network (MPLS, Internet, cellular) and simplifying remote IT so all locations would have fast, secure access to core systems.

The company deployed Riverbed SteelConnect SD‑WAN to manage multiple link types from a single pane of glass and push application‑centric policies with one click. The solution enabled plug‑and‑play “shadow” appliances for nontechnical staff, eliminated recurring connectivity issues, sped and secured access to centralized applications, reduced total cost of ownership, and positioned The Sol Group to scale and add Riverbed services in the future.
