Smart Solutions for
Manufacturing

A well-known manufacturer in Taiwan has maintained factories and offices in Taiwan, China and Southeast Asia. To maintain high stability of data transmission, the company uses MPLS technology to build a dedicated internal VPN network.

With various ERP and operation management systems centrally located in the company’s main headquarters in Taipei, the company’s IT services are delivered internationally via dedicated lines or relying on public cloud to develop services. However, operating MPLS are costly and not without limitations – users often experience transmission issues due to insufficient bandwidths, impacting the normal operations of the company; the expenses for maintaining dedicated lines and related software/hardware also constitute a significant financial burden.

Through the assistance and planning by the professional technology team of GWS CLOUD, the manufacturer can easily save up to hundreds of thousands of dollars in network fees monthly by adopting a multi-cloud framework and intelligent network technology.

CHALLENGE

Network Latency Leads to Poor User Experience

With the operation management systems mainly concentrated in the Taipei headquarter, the company’s internal users often experience limited transmission due to insufficient bandwidths; network latency is also an issue for international users, as the OA system cannot transmit in real-time, impeding work synergy within the corporation.

Risk of Disconnection Even with Dedicated Lines

MPLS is expensive and has limitations such as limited bandwidths and flexibility, complicated network configuration, and dependence on service provider to a certain degree. In addition, since the manufacturer has not planned a backup mechanism, there are also risks of network disconnection and loss network packets.

High Maintenance Costs for Hardware and Software

The manufacturer owns mainframe machines, which could incur significant costs if malfunctioned. In addition to hardware depreciation, a high maintenance budget must be planned annually; an expensive one-time purchase option is also selected for software licensing.

Network Environments Not Centralized Managed

In conventional network framework, the network environment at each node and plant must be managed individually, relying on their respective IT personnel to perform remote assistance, which is not only time-consuming but also labor-intensive.

KEY ADVANTAGES
