Regency Supply is a large family-owned lighting and electrical distributor, with over 40 years of experience, making supply easier for their customers.
Following the Covid epidemic of 2020, Regency Lighting expressed a need to reduce costs in their network by 20% to meet their new fiscal budget. Regency Lighting was using dedicated fiber services at all of their locations. The network at the time didn’t have redundancy and a reduction in bandwidth wasn’t an option.
By implementing a redesigned network featuring VMWare’s™ Velocloud SD-WAN services, Technology Source was able to utilize a broadband solution at a reduced cost, while providing proactive error correction and data prioritization, to maintain call quality and video quality. The lower cost of broadband provided for the addition of a redundant secondary solution which provided a back-up to their primary internet connection. With the SD-WAN solution, bandwidth can be aggregated between the two circuits, increasing access bandwidth to 200Mb–a 2x improvement.
- A secondary internet connection providing network diversity and redundancy
- A 2x increase in bandwidth access
- A 30% reduction in cost–beating the client’s cost reduction goal.
“Technology Source was a key partner in helping me to identify, plan and execute on a modern SD WAN connectivity solution for my company. I greatly appreciated their expertise and assistance in understanding the different options and technologies we could employ. They were there for my team through each step of the project. My CEO was extremely pleased with the results. The partnership that Technology Source provides is stellar and my team and I are very happy to be working with them”.
