VMware commissioned Forrester Consulting to conduct a Total Economic Impact™ study through interviews with VMware SASE™ customers, to understand what their technical and business needs are and examine potential ROI. Forrester interviewed five decision-makers with experience using VMware SASE, then aggregated the interviewees’ experiences and combined the results into a single composite organization: a global company that is becoming increasingly cloud-centric with $3 billion in revenue, 4,200 full-time employees, 2 data centers, and 100 existing sites, adding an average of three offices each year. The composite company wants to better secure its cloud technologies and move from MPLS to SD-WAN with zero-trust security.
