60+ locations, acquisitions integrated securely.
A static MPLS core couldn't carry a multi-cloud future.
Altana is a global specialty-chemicals group - 48 operational companies with products sold in over 100 countries. As its IT moved toward multi-cloud, the existing MPLS network proved far too static. Going multi-cloud also meant security had to be reinforced. So Altana looked for one forward-thinking provider that combined security with the network - not just connectivity.
A network built for the cloud
MPLS was too static for a multi-cloud direction. Altana needed an edge that flexes with every new cloud.
Security, not bolted on later
Moving to multi-cloud raised the exposure. Security had to be reinforced as part of the move, not after it.
One provider for both jobs
Not just connectivity: a partner to monitor traffic, manage security and keep strengthening the posture.
Security and the network, delivered as one.
With Secure SD-WAN by Open Systems, Altana connects its production sites, laboratories and sales points across 60+ locations worldwide. Because Altana grows through mergers and acquisitions, the service lets its IT team fold acquired companies into the network quickly and securely.
As Altana advances its multi-cloud strategy, SD-WAN connects new cloud systems flexibly and securely - security and connectivity moving together, run by Open Systems so a lean team can stay focused on the business.
Solutions in play
When we have a problem, we can talk about it openly. We work together as equals to develop the best solution together.
One platform, Altana's whole footprint.
A single SASE platform now carries Altana's entire global network - and every new acquisition inherits the same security on day one.
Other customers, same pattern.
Different industries, one move: fewer people running more network, with the numbers to show for it.
90 sites in six months, run by two people.
3,650 remote connections in seven days.
Hybrid network simplified, costs cut by half.
The thinking behind the move.
Why converging security with the network - and getting Zero Trust right - is what makes a multi-cloud shift like Altana's hold up.
