AGC生物制剂为包括Covid-19在内的一些最具挑战性的人类医疗状况和疾病带来了世界挽救生命的治疗方法。该公司的高度复杂且敏感的细胞生长过程取决于准备对中央管理的原材料的访问。网络连通性的任何丧失都可能破坏访问并阻止整个关键生命的过程。
AGC生物制剂的系统建筑师David Beach表示：“如果我们在德国的设施失去了连接性，他们将无法访问库存或跟踪样品。随着大型生物反应器中的细胞每隔几个小时的添加新材料，则情况可能会导致情况导致丢失的批次需要几个月才能再生并使公司损失数百万美元。”
Connecting Multinational Manufacturing Operations
One of the largest contract development and manufacturing organizations (CDMOs) in the biotechnology industry, AGC Biologics is continually expanding through new acquisitions and opening new facilities around the world.
每一个新的位置带来额外的能力eveloping a broader range of biologics (medications) based on mammalian and microbial therapeutic proteins, plasmid (a special DNA molecule within a cell), viral vector delivery methods, and genetically engineered cells. All these development and manufacturing pipelines also make AGC Biologics' WAN critical to its life-saving mission.
A long-time user of Silver Peak WAN optimization, Beach saw SD-WAN as the logical next step to support increasing business demands and turned to Aruba (formerly Silver Peak).
Beach说：“ MPLS网络和OpenVPN隧道的潜伏期正在减慢仓库员工的关键流程，这对我们的原材料供应链产生了负面影响。”“转向Aruba SD-WAN的关键原因是获得网络弹性和流量优化，以及在一个统一的，中央管理的平台上WAN加速的较高性能。”
Improves Application Performance, Resilience
Beach and his team deployed theAruba EdgeConnect SD-Wan边缘平台在AGC Biologics的所有全球位置，并实施了可选的Aruba Boost WAN optimization性能包。EdgeConnect设备还通过Wan Edge的现有下一代防火墙链式服务，从而使每个设施的安全本地突破。
Many of AGC Biologics' most critical applications are hosted on premises in Seattle, WA, including Microsoft Dynamics for finance and inventory management, and SharePoint for document sharing critical to industry and government regulatory compliance. Other essential applications such as an electronic document management system (EDMS) and laboratory information management system (LIMS) are cloud-based SaaS services.
借助EdgeConnect平台提供的子毫秒电路故障转移，由于MPLS或OpenVPN链接上的BrownOuts或中断，业务用户将不再失去对这些关键应用程序的访问权限。海滩报道说，SD-WAN和WAN加速度的结合也对应用程序绩效和员工生产率产生了重大影响。“现在需要几秒钟的时间来下载电子表格，而不是一分钟半来下载电子表格。人们不仅要等待屏幕刷新。”
Life-saving implications
Beach指出，每次互动中的每人节省几秒钟和分钟，与关键系统相比，大约有宝贵的时间。“当我们的仓库中的某人试图提取库存时，他们通常会被踢开系统，因为会议时间安排了。这已经不再发生了，这提供了更大的保证，即材料进入制造业以满足我们的生产时间表。”
时间对于生物制药至关重要，因为必须将原材料和代理保持在非常特定的环境条件下。消除延迟有助于将这些组件材料保持在适当的范围，并且在生产制造中可用。
In some cases, timing can have life-saving implications. For example, AGC Biologics is producing a new COVID-19 vaccine for Novavax in partnership with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to soon immunize the nation's military personnel. Another product, a blood coagulation treatment, must be at hand for patients taking next-generation blood thinners so they stop bleeding if they are involved in an accident.
Significant Time-Saver for Small IT Team
Beach and his team also gain time back in their day, thanks to the ease of centrally managing the SD-WAN through the阿鲁巴编排管理控制台。Beach说：“通过单个玻璃窗格，可以看到整个SD-WAN，这对于像我们这样的小型IT部门而言，生活变得更加轻松。”
He adds, "Being able to make changes anywhere across the SD-WAN within a single console is a significant time savings. Instead of hours to set up a device as in the past, we can set up an EdgeConnect appliance in a few minutes. It frees up many hours for us to work on other important projects for the business."
Most important, the Aruba SD-WAN with unified WAN optimization gives Beach confidence that IT can deliver the network services that play such a critical role in supporting AGC Biologics' multinational manufacturing operations. He concludes, "Within IT, it is our job to make sure that everyone has access to the data they need, when they need it. The Aruba SD-WAN helps us live up to that commitment."
