Case Study: tru Independence achieves reliable, high-performance, cost-effective WAN connectivity for financial applications with VMware SD-WAN

tru Independence - Customer Case Study

tru Independence helps Registered Investment Advisors launch and run independent wealth-management firms by delivering a best-in-class integrated service platform from its private cloud, including Citrix XenDesktop, VoIP and videoconferencing. The company needed highly reliable, low-latency access for real-time financial applications but was constrained by underutilized backup links, poor failover performance, limited traffic visibility, and high costs for business-class circuits.

By deploying VMware SD-WAN by VeloCloud, tru Independence aggregated consumer-grade circuits (e.g., cable and DSL) to maximize bandwidth utilization, enable application-aware link steering, and provide seamless failover with centralized monitoring and remote configuration. The solution eliminated extra hardware, cut connectivity costs to about one-third of metro Ethernet, improved application performance even during link failures, and simplified deployment and management across client sites.
