Tesco: 1,000+ on IP VPN

Centralized IP VPN network for over 1,000 Tesco stores in Czechia, Hungary, Poland, and Slovakia.

“It was important for us to choose a trustworthy partner for our Central and Eastern European operations—someone that would allow us to adopt a regional approach. As we operate our network from a single location, having a provider who can guarantee the same level of service in each country was a major benefit. On top of that, we value having a single account team for all the countries we operate in. This helps ensure that any service requirement is delivered with the same specification and quality.”

Martin Berdych, CEE IT Infrastructure & Operations Manager

Challenge

Tesco has been expanding rapidly in the Central Eastern Europe (CEE) region, adding an ever-growing number of stores, branches, and warehouses. The retailer needed a seamless, cross-border corporate network with reliable VPN (virtual private network) solutions that can handle business-critical data applications, such as payment transactions, supply chain and employee information systems.

Solution

We implemented a unified, guaranteed IP VPN service for its retail chain stores throughout the CEE region. The network includes a total of 900 Tesco outlets in the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, and Slovakia. The IP VPN service allows Tesco to easily and efficiently connect all company stores to a single, private network. In addition to a regional IP VPN network, we provide Tesco with data center collocation, dedicated internet access, and voice and SMS services.

Benefits

  • Centralized and proactive network surveillance and maintenance within CEE
  • Lower direct costs thanks to volume purchasing and lower indirect costs as one network is less expensive to operate.
  • Primary and backup service at every Tesco store
  • Multilingual support across the CEE region
  • Guaranteed QoS (Quality of Service) and SLA (Service Level Agreement).
