The world of work has changed fundamentally. Employees are increasingly working from home. Projects and construction sites require workplace solutions directly on site. In addition, there are internationally distributed partners and customers. This is regardless of where the nearest company site is located. Companies that rely on computing-intensive software such as CAD applications face particular challenges.
Performance without compromise
In our case, we had to meet a very specific requirement: Employees, partners and customers needed to be able to work optimally from anywhere. Whether from abroad, in the office, on the construction site or from home. The focus was on the highest possible performance and security. Smooth operation of our virtual CAD workstations (VDI) was particularly critical. CAD applications are known to be very demanding. In addition to high bandwidth, they require particularly low latency times and stable connections. In a VDI environment, even small delays have a significant impact on user-friendliness.
From complexity to clarity
Our previous network landscape had grown over the years. As a result, it became increasingly complex. Different locations, various connection technologies and numerous security solutions were added. This made management complex and troubleshooting time-consuming. With the implementation of Cato Networks, the situation changed fundamentally. It gave us complete transparency across our entire network in real time. We didn't have this clear view before.
Security as an integral component
Another key aspect for us was security. With the new solution, all connections are protected at all times. We can react quickly and efficiently to threats or cyber attacks. The architecture of Cato Networks makes it possible to manage security policies centrally. These are automatically distributed to all locations and end devices and become active within a few minutes. This means we no longer have to make settings manually at individual locations and devices, and our infrastructure and users are protected at all times.
Flexibility as a competitive advantage
We have great flexibility when it comes to site connections. Whether it's a temporary construction site office or additional premises. Even a pandemic that forces us all to work from home is no problem. Employees can access the network anytime and anywhere, with consistently high connection quality.
Technology in the service of productivity
The introduction of a modern network solution has permanently changed the way we work. Not through complicated new processes, but through the simplification of existing processes. Both performance and security have improved significantly.
