Bengaluru: Berger Paints has selected HPE Aruba Networking’s Edge Connect SD-WAN solution to optimize its wide area network (WAN) connectivity and enhance security across its 160 branches in India, including data centers, disaster recovery sites, and headquarters.
The adoption of the SD-WAN solution will enable Berger Paints to streamline operations, reduce bandwidth costs, and improve application performance. The solution’s centralized control function securely steers traffic across the WAN, directly connecting to trusted SaaS and IaaS providers, thereby enhancing user experience and business productivity.
