Case Study: The Bay Club achieves rapid branch deployment and business agility with VMware SD-WAN

The Bay Club delivers business agility and rapid branch deployment with VMware NSX® SD-WAN by VeloCloud™

The Bay Club, a California-based hospitality operator with 24 family-focused clubs, was expanding rapidly through acquisitions but IT struggled to keep up. Heavy guest usage (about 70% of WAN bandwidth), reliance on costly and slow-to-provision MPLS links (about 90 days), variable internet connectivity at new sites, and limited on-site IT staff made integrating new clubs quickly and affordably a major challenge.

The company deployed VMware SD‑WAN (VeloCloud), a cloud-managed solution that works across DSL, cable and MPLS, enables zero-touch provisioning, and consolidates multiple network appliances. As a result, new locations are brought online in days instead of months, member-facing service quality and availability improved, centralized management reduced device and operational costs, and the IT team gained the agility to scale growth.
