Case Study: KLM Inc achieves real-time terabyte file transfers and 2–4× bandwidth with VMware SD-WAN

Transferring Terabyte-Sized Files Quickly is No Problem with SD-WAN

KLM Inc., a global construction and architectural firm with more than 50 branch sites and 50,000 employees, struggled to support terabyte-sized 3D scans, architectural drawings and unified communications over limited and often remote circuits. Its legacy MPLS and microwave links, aging routers and manual QoS forced large file transfers to off-hours and caused jitter and latency for VoIP and cloud apps, harming productivity and scalability.

KLM deployed VMware SD‑WAN across its sites, using centralized orchestration, SD‑WAN Edges and Gateways and Dynamic Multipath Optimization to steer traffic and prioritize applications. The rollout doubled to quadrupled effective bandwidth, enabled real‑time terabyte transfers during business hours while supporting VoIP and cloud services, cut new-site deployment from months to days, centralized management and dramatically improved user experience.
