The food product manufacturer will benefit from a private network, accessible from any of its branches, and an enhanced bandwidth. Also the VPN solution will mean that Bruce Foods' regional network sites will be able to remain in contact even if one site goes off-line, as happened during hurricanes Rita and Katrina two years ago.
No financial terms of the contract were disclosed.
