In the era of globalization, efficient network management and stability are key elements for the smooth operation of high-tech manufacturing.

Oplink Century has joined hands with a global semiconductor display product manufacturer to successfully achieve unified management and optimization of the company's global network through customized SD-WAN solutions, providing strong support for the efficient operation of its global business.

Global layout challenges for manufacturing companies

As a leading semiconductor display manufacturer, the company has production bases and branches in many countries around the world, and its business covers new retail, finance, medical and other fields, with tens of thousands of employees. With the continuous expansion of global business, enterprises need a more flexible and stable network architecture to support global collaborative operations. However, the original three independent networks - local VPN, MPLS and overseas backbone network - were separated from each other and difficult to manage in a unified manner, which brought the following challenges:

l Network delay and instability: The network connection of branches around the world is unstable, affecting the efficiency of business operations.

l Invisible network resources: The lack of a unified management platform makes it difficult to monitor and optimize network resource utilization in real time.

l Slow fault response: The long cycle of network fault location and repair affects production and business operations.

Fnetlink customized SD-WAN solution

In response to the above problems, Fnetlink tailored a global SD-WAN solution for the enterprise, and successfully solved the enterprise's difficulties in global network management through the following key technologies and services.

l Visual management of the entire network

The Fnetlink SD-WAN platform provides enterprises with real-time monitoring of the global network. Customers can clearly view the network utilization, quality and key performance indicators of each branch.

l Intelligent routing optimization

Based on Fnetlink's global PoP points and intelligent routing technology, the system will automatically select the best transmission path to ensure that the key business traffic of the enterprise is transmitted first.

l Fully managed maintenance service

Fnetlink provides 7*24*365 fully managed maintenance services to ensure that the network operation center (NOC) monitors the network operation status throughout the process and proactively discovers and solves problems.

Smart network management significantly improves business efficiency

After the implementation of the SD-WAN solution, the manufacturing company's network management efficiency and business operation quality have been significantly improved:

l Improved network transparency: Three physical networks are centrally and uniformly managed, and management efficiency has increased by more than 50%.

l Reduced network latency by 30%: Through smart routing optimization, global network latency has been greatly reduced, and business collaboration between branches around the world has become more efficient.

l Shortened fault repair time to minutes: Fault response speed has been greatly improved, ensuring the stability and continuity of production and business.

The IT manager of the enterprise spoke highly of this: "Fnetlink's SD-WAN solution has brought unprecedented efficiency improvement to our global network, especially in network fault handling. Their quick response and accurate troubleshooting have prevented our business from being stalled by network problems.

Future cooperation prospects: more possibilities for smart management

In the future, Fnetlink's cooperation with the manufacturing company will be further deepened, and more cooperation will be carried out in smart network management and technological innovation. Fnetlink will continue to provide smarter and more secure network solutions to assist more manufacturing industries in global expansion and digital transformation.
