Case Study: Global Retailing Company achieves lean, multi-cloud IT and cost savings with Versa Networks Secure SD‑WAN

Global Retailer Improves Cost Savings with Versa Secure SD-WAN

Global Retailing Company, a top global retailer with 600+ stores and 100,000+ employees across four regions, needed to consolidate and simplify in-store IT by replacing multiple single‑purpose devices with a lean, VM-based uCPE platform that could host routing, switching, security, micro data center and Wi‑Fi, while also enabling multicloud connectivity and easier manageability. They selected Versa Networks’ Versa Secure SD‑WAN to provide an integrated, security‑embedded software stack for this transformation.

Versa Networks implemented a regional hub‑and‑spoke Versa Secure SD‑WAN on uCPE with multi‑tenancy, HA dual‑link designs (MPLS/broadband with LTE standby), traffic conditioning (FEC) for poor links, and direct cloud integration via Azure vWAN and AWS Transit Gateway. The deployment reduced MPLS dependence and costs, automated operations using templates/APIs, enabled secure tenant separation, simplified multi‑cloud networking, and delivered analytics‑driven capacity planning and improved real‑time voice/video performance—measurable gains in cost savings, automation and service quality.
