Case Study: G8 Education achieves reliable parent video sharing and simplified network management with VMware

G8 Education - Customer Case Study

G8 Education (ASX: GEM) operates more than 500 early-education centres across Australia and Singapore and faced growing demand from parents for real-time photo and video updates. Their small IT team struggled with legacy, inconsistent WAN links—ADSL, cable, 4G—causing congestion, outages and limited visibility across hundreds of sites, which threatened service quality and competitiveness.

They deployed Macquarie Telecom SD-WAN to centralize control and stitch multiple links together, managed from a single Orchestrator dashboard. The solution enabled remote rollouts and configuration, reduced latency and downtime, improved video/voice/photo reliability, and gave IT clear bandwidth visibility—delivering faster, more reliable connections and simpler expansion across the network.
