Albemarle Corporation Case Study on Network Solutions

This case study details the collaboration between Albemarle Corporation, a leading global producer of Lithium, Bromine, and Catalyst solutions, and Aryaka Networks to enhance their network performance. Albemarle faced challenges with their previous internet service provider, which did not meet the demands of cloud adoption and future growth. The initial solution involved routing traffic through Aryaka’s network to improve performance for Microsoft 365 and other applications. In 2020, Aryaka took over last mile services, streamlining Albemarle's management of global contracts. The implementation of Aryaka’s ‘T-shirt’ model provided flexibility in bandwidth upgrades. The results included reduced drop and jitter rates to less than 1%, improved optimization and compression for application performance, and enhanced management of mission-critical traffic. This partnership has led to increased uptime and operational efficiency for Albemarle's global WAN.
