Fortifying Manufacturing Continuity with Edge Network Intelligence

When Sumitomo Bakelite Europe, a world leader in high-performance plastics solutions, replaced their costly MPLS data lines with VMware SD-WAN, they were able to reduce their monthly data costs by 60% -- without impacting business operations.

Watch this brief webinar to discover how VMware SD-WAN helped Sumitomo have better-performing data connections between its European sites, at a much lower cost.

“VMware SD-WAN has reduced the workload for the IT team, especially in case of issues. And if we expand to other European countries or elsewhere in the world, we only need to install an SD-WAN Edge locally and contact the local provider for a data line.” 
~ Mark Renders, European ICT Coordinator, Sumitomo Bakelite Europe

Engaging Retail Experiences Demand an Agile Infrastructure: Fireside Chat

In higher education, the wireless network is the core backbone of campus connectivity. 

Wireless networks are still magic for the end user - more so because they "just work" at home. But with such high expectations, whenever something goes wrong, the first thing that gets blamed is the WiFi. Even within the IT department, the wireless network is often blindly blamed for the root cause of application issues or poor performance of SaaS services. While WiFi can be the root cause, it is often a combination of issues. 
 
In this webinar, you'll learn how VMware Edge Network Intelligence (formerly Nyansa Voyance) can help stop the blame game and quickly identify the root cause of the issues on your campus network. Leveraging a powerful AI engine, ENI learns what's normal for your network and quickly identifies what's wrong. These baselines can show whether a WiFi software update or vendor change will make things better or worse. Or clearly correlate application performance against WiFi performance to identify where the performance issues really exist. 
 
Join us for an in-depth look at how ENI can help you see into your network and find out what's really going on, to help you stop the WiFi blame.
