Case Study: McHenry Savings Bank achieves faster transactions and $24,000/year cost savings with SonicWall WXA and firewall solutions

Bank Speeds Transactions with Sonicwall

McHenry Savings Bank, a U.S. community bank with about 100 employees, was experiencing fluctuating Internet latency that impaired a core financial application hosted in a remote data center. The bank turned to SonicWall and deployed a SonicWall WXA WAN Acceleration appliance along with a SonicWall NSA Series firewall at headquarters and SonicWall TZ Series firewalls at its branches.

SonicWall’s solution eliminated the latency fluctuations, dramatically improved teller throughput and overall performance, and simplified management via a single interface, enabling the bank to run a fully virtualized environment. The SonicWall deployment also avoided repeated T1 reinstalls, saving McHenry Savings Bank about $24,000 per year while delivering lower total cost of ownership and easy deployment.
