Today’s Tech Bytes, sponsored by Silver Peak, discusses how SD-WAN can give you more leverage over your MPLS providers and improve performance for users.

Our guest is Bruce Jarrett, Infrastructure Team Lead and Network Architect, at Gentherm, a global developer of thermal management technologies such as heated car seats.

Gentherm has 20 facilities in 13 countries—includes business offices, R&D, manufacturing, and distribution.

Bruce describes how SD-WAN let the company roll out fast, high-performing broadband connections to supplement the company’s traditional MPLS deployment, while also improving user experience.

We also discuss how features such the controller-based architecture and zero-touch provisioning streamlined global deployments for Bruce’s three-person networking team.
