Case Study: United Way Australia achieves zero downtime and 28% faster bandwidth with VMware SD-WAN

SD-WAN Unites the Network for the United Way

United Way Australia is a lean, national not‑for‑profit that improves education, employment, health and housing in disadvantaged communities. With offices around the country but no dedicated IT department and a tight budget, the organisation needed a simple, adaptive and secure network that would keep shared drives, VPN, finance systems and communications running reliably without adding complexity.

Macquarie Telecom deployed an SD‑WAN solution (powered by VMware SD‑WAN by VeloCloud) that was installed seamlessly, delivering clearer network visibility, multipath resilience and a 28% speed increase. Since the upgrade United Way has experienced zero downtime, consistent connectivity and a low‑touch system that lets the team focus donations and effort on community programs rather than IT issues.
