Wachter Saves $200K Annually With MNJ Technologies’ Managed SD-WAN

After about 10 years with MPLS, Wachter, an electrical contractor and technology integrator, was bogged down by costs and periodic site outages due to a lack of redundancy. Which is why, when its MPLS contract came up for renewal, it sought something different to connect its employees and sites. Wachter ended up switching to a Silver Peak-based SD-WAN service from IT services company MNJ Technologies. MNJ designed, implemented, and monitored the managed SD-WAN service for the contractor. Carl Shriver, the IT operations manager at Wachter, said that cost, avoiding outages, and having agility for making local connections were the main drivers for converting to SD-WAN.
