Case Study: G8 Education achieves simplified, centrally managed nationwide networks and seamless video/photo sharing with VMware SD‑WAN

Big Technology for Little People

G8 Education, which operates more than 500 early‑education centres across Australia and Singapore, faced growing parent demand for real‑time photos and video but was hampered by legacy, congested networks, mixed link types (ADSL, cable, 4G) and limited IT resources—making visibility, bandwidth control and reliable media sharing a major challenge.

They deployed Macquarie Telecom’s SD‑WAN (powered by VMware SD‑WAN/VeloCloud), using Multi‑Path link stitching and a single‑pane Orchestrator with plug‑and‑play Edge boxes for remote configuration. The rollout delivered low latency and higher uptime for video, voice and photo sharing, simplified nationwide rollouts with no on‑site technicians, centralized monitoring and improved parent engagement, positioning G8 for scalable expansion.
