With its powerful SD-WAN solution, Guanglian has successfully assisted a globally leading pharmaceutical company in addressing network challenges in its global business expansion, achieving secure and efficient global network management.



Network pain points of global pharmaceutical companies

The client is a globally renowned pharmaceutical company dedicated to the research and development, production, and global sales of innovative drugs. The company has research and development centers and production bases in multiple regions such as North America, Europe, and Asia, with a vast global business network spanning multiple countries and regions. As a leading enterprise in the pharmaceutical industry, our clients have extremely strict requirements for data security, compliance, and cross-border data transmission efficiency. Especially in the process of drug development and clinical trials, the immediacy and safety of data are crucial for enterprises.




Insufficient global data transmission efficiency: Efficient exchange of data is particularly important in the research and production processes of the pharmaceutical industry. Due to the traditional MPLS and VPN architecture adopted by customers, cross-border data transmission often encounters delays and instability, which affects the efficient collaboration between cross-border R&D teams and even affects the drug development process.

Data security and compliance pressure: The pharmaceutical industry has extremely strict requirements for data security and confidentiality, especially in the transmission process of clinical trial data and drug development information. The existing network architecture cannot provide sufficient security guarantees, and there are potential risks of data leakage and tampering.

High complexity and cost of operation and maintenance: The network architecture in multiple countries and regions around the world is complex, making it difficult for operation and maintenance teams to manage efficiently. In addition, due to the differences in operators around the world, the complexity of network management continues to increase, and operation and maintenance costs remain high.
