Enterprise Case Study:

Adopting an SD-WAN Enabled Network

Jeremiah Ginn WAN Summit San Jose 2017


Network Manager June 14-15 2017
Case Study Overview
Adopting an SD-WAN Enabled Network

Our case study is based on a manufacturing company with sites in the US, Canada, and Mexico. Initially the
company had a WAN made of mostly MPLS circuits and some static IPSEC VPN tunnels.

•  160 sites
•  17,000 employees
•  5,000 knowledge workers
•  US, Canada, Mexico
•  Cisco
•  Talari

Phase I
Solution for Key Sites

•  Phase I – The business unit needed additional WAN reliability at key locations.
•  Key Solution - Talari dual T-3000 head end and T-510 for remote sites across 19 locations
•  Technology – SD WAN using SSL “conduits” for dynamic path creation and routing

Business Needs How Talari Met the Need


•  Reliability Inline fail to wire behind WAN router
•  Bandwidth Bandwidth AggregaJon
•  Simple Installed in 15 minutes
•  Cost EffecJve IniJal cost apx. $3,500 per site
•  Easy OperaJons Average 1 support Jcket per year
•  Lifecycle In 7 years only 1 hardware failure

Phase II
Solution for All Sites

•  Phase II – Hardware refresh (most WAN devices 7-9 years old), several teams were competing for budget (IOT, Voice,
WAN, Security, Wireless), and the need for point to multipoint to work. All sites need more reliability not just key sites
•  Key Solution – Cisco ASR 1001-X head end, and ISR 4331 for remote sites across 160 locations
•  Technology – SD WAN using Cisco iWAN

Business Needs How Cisco Met the Need


•  Reliability Able to use dual routers and mulJple circuits per router
•  Bandwidth Bandwidth AggregaJon
•  Simple Not really, requires senior engineer
•  Cost EffecJve IniJal cost apx. $8,000 a site, far less than mulJple devices
•  Easy OperaJons To Be Determined
•  Lifecycle Expected to last 7-10 years

Cisco’s soluJon
allows for mulJple
funcJons in the
same device

Network – Site Networking Models – Service Groups
Cost effective implementations

•  Site Type A – Full Diversity - No single point of failure to Site – Diverse circuits, redundant hardware
•  Site Type B – Partial Diversity – Diverse circuits, single hardware device
•  Site Type C – Not Diverse – This type is for small sites such as warehouses and temporary sites
