CypressTel, a leading ICT service provider and pioneer in SD-WAN technology, was recently recognized as an outstanding hybrid cloud case and included in the "Hybrid Cloud Application Case Compilation (2023)"  The award was announced on July 26th, 2023, at the Trusted Cloud Conference organized by the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology (CAICT) and the Cloud Computing Open Source Industry Alliance.

CypressTel was granted the "Annual Cloud Networking Outstanding Case" award for its project titled "Hybrid Cloud Network Architectures." The award acknowledges CypressTel's comprehensive capabilities in innovative industry solutions, network connectivity, and sustainable delivery in the hybrid cloud area.

The selection of outstanding cases aimed to promote high-quality development in the field of hybrid cloud, improve hybrid cloud technologies and service levels, and showcase exemplary cases with high maturity and demonstrative effects. CypressTel's inclusion in the "Hybrid Cloud Application Case Compilation (2023)" and the "Hybrid Cloud Industry Panorama (2023)" demonstrates the recognition of CypressTel's strength in the cloud and networking sector. It also serves as a testament to CypressTel's ability to innovate and breakthrough in the cloud and networking area.

CypressTel collaborated with Gaotune Technologies Co. Ltd to address four major challenges in their project, which were as follows:

1. Complicated Network Connectivity: Meeting the diverse access requirements of partners, suppliers, and mobile office users.

2. Lack of Resources for Operations and Management: Managing and maintaining devices at branch offices, especially in the absence of dedicated IT personnel.

3. Lack of Flexibility: Traditional networking solutions are often static and struggle to adapt to changing business needs, requiring complex changes and adjustments when adding new devices, increasing bandwidth, or adjusting network topology.

4. Multiple Application Systems: High dependence on IT systems, making it challenging to ensure continuous, stable, and reliable operation.

CypressTel offers comprehensive network and cloud solutions to help Gaotune overcome its business challenges.

1. Simplified Network Management: SD-WAN provides a centralized control plane that enables administrators to manage the entire hybrid cloud network easily. They can configure, monitor, and optimize the network from a single console.

2. Cost-Effective: With SD-WAN, organizations can use a mix of network connections, such as broadband, cellular, and MPLS, to create a hybrid cloud network. This helps to reduce costs compared to using only expensive MPLS connections.

3. Hybrid Cloud Connectivity: SD-WAN enables organizations to connect their on-premises data centers, private clouds, and public clouds using a variety of network connections. Administrators can configure and optimize the entire hybrid cloud network from a single console.

4. Enhanced Security: SD-WAN provides advanced security features to protect the hybrid cloud network at multiple levels. It uses encryption to secure data transmission, implements security policies and access controls, and integrates with other security tools such as firewalls and threat intelligence.

5. Performance and Bandwidth Management: SD-WAN optimizes network performance and bandwidth utilization through intelligent traffic routing and load balancing. It dynamically selects the best path and allocates bandwidth based on application requirements, providing improved user experience and application performance

6. Fault Recovery and Reliability: SD-WAN includes fault recovery capabilities, automatically switching to backup connections in case of network failures to ensure business continuity and reliability. It continuously monitors connection quality and adjusts dynamically based on real-time conditions to maintain optimal network connectivity.

The manufacturing industry is one of the largest and fastest-growing sectors in the global economy. The advancements in cloud computing, as well as the convergence of IT and OT, have brought significant benefits to manufacturing enterprises. They have enabled real-time information, analysis, and control, thereby improving efficiency across various departments. However, as digitalization continues, and the Internet of Things grows exponentially, manufacturing companies will require wide-area networks with sufficient capabilities and flexibility to manage production lines, operate them efficiently, and scale them to meet future demands.

The cloud-network fusion solution of cloud + SD-WAN effectively achieves cloud-edge integration and intelligent interconnection, meeting the rapidly growing business needs of the manufacturing industry. SD-WAN's centralized management, enhanced security, performance optimization, and cloud integration capabilities help to address the challenges of hybrid cloud networking, providing a flexible, secure, and reliable network connection solution.
