Case Study: Riedel Networks
Solidifying networking offerings with Cisco SD-WAN
Riedel Networks was founded in 2005 when a Formula 1 team needed a simpler, more cost-effective networking solution for its car telemetry data. Since then, this subsidiary of Riedel Communications has shifted its focus to providing clients with high-performance MPLS VPNs. When the company wanted to solidify its networking business without hurting MPLS sales, it partnered with Cisco to provide its customers with SD-WAN.
