Global manufacturer extends enterprise network to mainland China with Juniper Session Smart Routing

For years, the Shanghai office was poorly connected via MPLS to the company’s private network to comply with the China Cybersecurity Law (CSL), which imposes strict rules for handling traffic originating from China. The company’s incumbent solution relied on an MPLS tunneling scheme that impeded traffic management, inhibited CSL compliance, and prevented Össur from reliably connecting the Shanghai location to the Össur network.

Employees in China were often isolated from the rest of the business, unable to access critical corporate applications and IT services. The company sought a dependable way to extend its enterprise network to Shanghai while enabling CSL compliance.

ambiFOX deployed the Session Smart SD-WAN solution and had the Shanghai office fully operational in a matter of weeks—in the middle of the COVID-19 outbreak—without having to ship out any special-purpose hardware or send technicians on-site. The ambiWAN service helps Össur streamline communications, improve collaboration, and boost worker productivity. Employees in China can now seamlessly access Össur corporate directory services, unified communications platforms, office productivity suites, and other enterprise applications and IT services.

The service helps Össur improve end-user experiences by ensuring high service quality for delay-sensitive applications, avoid risk and uncertainty by ensuring secure, reliable, and compliant connectivity, and free IT staff and budget by eliminating operations expense and complexity.
