A large sporting goods retailer was seeking to expand and optimize cloud services and applications that support its core business operations at stores throughout the western U.S. The retailer wanted to enhance its ability to monitor application performance and integrate robust security at the infrastructure edge and cloud services. Working closely with Hughes Managed Services, a leading network technology and solutions provider, the retailer deployed Azure VMware Solution together with VMware SD-WAN™ to support its multi-cloud infrastructure, backed by next-generation security for on-premises network elements.
