Client Overview

This case features a global electronics manufacturing company specializing in power supply and transformer systems, with offices and manufacturing sites across multiple regions.

With a globally distributed workforce, employees frequently access internal training platforms and enterprise applications online. However, cross-border latency and security issues were impacting operational efficiency.

Key Challenges

1. High latency in cross-border training platforms affects learning experience
   • Internal training and seminars must run in sync worldwide, but connectivity in regions like China often suffers from latency, disrupting participation.
2. Slow delivery of static and dynamic content
   • Training content includes videos, documents, and interactive applications, which the existing delivery infrastructure failed to serve efficiently.
3. Security risks and challenges in managing internal access
   • Enterprise systems and data require strong protection against unauthorized access and data breaches.
   • Needed a centralized access management solution for all internal applications.
     
     

Cloudflare Solution & Benefits
