Like Greenbrier, Hydrite Chemical turned to Talari for much the same reasons: adding more bandwidth to its MPLS network and making the network more reliable.

Hydrite, a private company, manufactures and distributes chemicals used in food processing, industry, paper and other industries. It has 3,000-plus products and 10 offices spread across Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa and California.

All locations are supported by a data-only MPLS network with T-1 access links.

Most offices have 15-90 people, but two locations account for 80% of the branch office network traffic.
