Case Study: Jensen Hughes achieves 50% cost savings and nearly doubles bandwidth with VMware SD-WAN (managed by GTT)

A Top Engineering Firm Leverages VMware SD-WAN Managed by GTT

Jensen Hughes, a global specialty engineering firm with more than 80 branches, faced an aging, fragmented WAN—relying on costly MPLS links and multiple local providers—that couldn’t keep up with rising cloud adoption, large file transfers, VoIP jitter, or the bandwidth demands of its engineering workflows. The IT team needed a modern, scalable network to support digital growth, simplify management, and reduce costs.

By deploying VMware SD-WAN (VeloCloud) managed by GTT, Jensen Hughes standardized its global network, replaced many MPLS circuits with DIA and broadband, and gained centralized monitoring and zero-touch provisioning. The move nearly doubled bandwidth at many sites, cut networking costs by roughly 50%, improved security and performance (enabling Office 365, Microsoft Teams, and cloud CAD collaboration), and simplified operations through a single “pane of glass” for management—positioning the company for continued global expansion.
