Dunmore Case Study on Ecessa PowerLink Implementation

This case study details the implementation of Ecessa PowerLink® at Dunmore, an international design and manufacturing company specializing in coated films. The document outlines the challenges faced by Dunmore due to connectivity outages caused by a poorly performing MPLS circuit. The IT Manager, Vince Sullivan, highlighted the inefficiencies of manually reconfiguring routers during outages. To address these issues, Dunmore sought a solution that would provide uninterrupted access to critical systems and reduce connectivity expenses. After evaluating options, they selected Ecessa PowerLink®, which offers automatic failover and utilizes SD-WAN features to maintain VPN operations even during ISP failures. The results of this implementation included improved uptime, enhanced VPN performance, and increased connection speeds without additional costs. The case study emphasizes the ease of management and reduced support costs associated with the new system, allowing the IT team to focus on other projects while ensuring reliable network performance.
