Shipping Firm Centralizes IT With Data Center Network and WAN
Overview Every day, over 14,000 employees at The Panalpina Group, in 500 offices around the world, are focused on getting their customers' freight to the right location at the right time.

As a solution Panalpina Group deployed Cisco WAAS for WAN optimization, Cisco MDS 9500 Series Multilayer Directors for storage networking and Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Switches for data center networking.
