Case Study: Adobe Systems achieves four-nines availability and 50% TCO savings with Versa Networks SD‑WAN

After moving its business to the cloud, Adobe chose to deploy Versa SD-WAN architecture when it needed four-nines availability for critical services -- all on a smaller budget

Adobe Systems, having moved customer-facing applications and back-end workloads into public cloud environments, needed four-nines availability for critical services while cutting costs. Its legacy hub-and-spoke MPLS architecture was backhauling internet traffic, causing poor performance and limited visibility across 37 countries and 18,000+ employees, so Adobe Systems selected Versa Networks’ Versa SD-WAN architecture to meet its availability, security, and performance requirements.

Versa Networks implemented a phased Versa SD-WAN rollout using Versa-certified white box routers, Versa Director for orchestration, and cloud integration with AWS/Azure to bring on‑premises and VPCs into a single fabric. The deployment delivered increased bandwidth and performance, unified visibility and stronger security, better monitoring and analytics, and enabled a shift from MPLS to internet circuits — driving roughly a 50% reduction in total cost of operations over five years across Adobe Systems’ 37 global sites.
