A globally leading photovoltaic (PV) energy manufacturing enterprise has been ranked among China's Top 500 Private Enterprises and Fortune China 500 for many consecutive years, successfully listed on the Science and Technology Innovation Board, and occupies an important position in the global PV industrial chain. The company focuses on the R&D and manufacturing of PV modules, committed to promoting photovoltaic power generation to replace traditional energy and accelerating the earth's transition to a sustainable new energy era. Different from traditional manufacturing or internet enterprises, this leading enterprise needs to achieve efficient R&D collaboration, intelligent manufacturing, and supply chain linkage globally. The stability and intelligence of its network architecture directly determine production efficiency and market response speed.


Dual Challenges of Cross-Border Access and O&M


The enterprise has dual headquarters and self-built IDC computer rooms in two domestic locations, with overseas branches spread across Europe, America, and Southeast Asia. Its business systems mainly rely on public network access, and no unified wide-area networking architecture has been formed. Domestic branches are interconnected with the dual headquarters through self-built IDCs, while overseas branches mainly access domestic data centers via the public internet, lacking dedicated lines and unified scheduling. With the continuous expansion of global business and the rapid growth of cross-border access volume, the existing architecture has exposed obvious deficiencies.


1. Restricted Remote Collaboration Experience: Overseas employees often encounter delays, freezes, or even disconnections when accessing domestic video conferencing platforms, significantly reducing cross-timezone collaboration efficiency.

2. Low Cross-Border Business Access Efficiency: The speed of application release and access for European, American, and Southeast Asian markets cannot be guaranteed, affecting global business expansion.


3. Insufficient Resource Utilization: Dual-line bandwidth lacks intelligent scheduling, failing to achieve load balancing, resulting in high bandwidth idleness.


4. High Management Complexity: Dispersed devices and links, coupled with the lack of a unified management platform, make O&M and troubleshooting time-consuming and labor-intensive.


GLINK Smart Network Solutions


Targeting the unique needs of new energy enterprises—"global layout + high-reliability R&D and production"—GLINK has tailored a global SD-WAN intelligent networking solution:


Architecture Design


The solution adopts a domestic dual-HUB core design, deploying core nodes in two locations. Domestic branches access the dual HUBs via the internet to achieve high availability and redundancy. Overseas branches connect to the service provider's MPLS backbone network and realize nearby access through more than 200 global PoP nodes, completely breaking the bottleneck of direct cross-border connectivity.


Network Experience Optimization


The solution supports intelligent routing based on application and link quality, adaptive packet loss compensation (A-FEC), and QoS intelligent scheduling, ensuring that critical businesses such as video conferences are always smooth and stable.


Security and Reliability Assurance


The solution adopts an all-site dual-machine and dual-network architecture. HUB nodes support public IP or NAT mapping, and the controller has remote disaster recovery and multi-RR deployment capabilities. It also has built-in security policies such as firewalls, intrusion prevention, and URL filtering, providing solid protection for global businesses.


O&M Management Upgrade


With the iMaster NCE unified management platform, the entire network topology is visualized, policies are centrally distributed, and real-time alarms and traffic optimization are supported. Zero-Touch Provisioning (ZTP) significantly reduces implementation complexity and O&M labor costs.


Leap in Business Value


After the project was put into use, the enterprise's global network achieved an overall leap:


- Cross-border video conferences have transformed from frequent disconnections to stable and smooth operations, improving collaboration efficiency by more than 30%.


- The speed and stability of overseas employees accessing domestic applications have been significantly improved, making global business delivery and internal operations smoother.


- Multi-link load balancing effectively increases bandwidth utilization, reducing comprehensive O&M costs by more than 20%.


- Unified management and full-network visualization enable the IT team to quickly locate faults and significantly shorten processing time.


Through GLINK's customized networking solution, the enterprise has achieved an overall leap in efficient collaboration, intelligent manufacturing, and supply chain linkage, enhancing the agility and reliability of global business operations. Looking ahead, GLINK will continue to rely on global backbone resources and intelligent technologies to help the new energy industry break geographical barriers and accelerate the transition of green energy to a new era of sustainable development.

A new energy vehicle manufacturer is a listed company with annual revenue and market value exceeding 100 billion yuan. It is a global leader in the field of new energy vehicles. Its business covers electronics, automobiles, new energy and rail transportation, with a global layout in six continents and more than 30 industrial parks. As the enterprise expanded rapidly, its traditional network architecture gradually exposed performance bottlenecks and management difficulties. To meet these challenges, customers chose to cooperate with Fnetlink and use Fnetlink's customized SD-WAN solution to comprehensively upgrade the global network and achieve intelligent management and interconnection. Unique Challenges of Global Collaboration The company's global presence brings with it complex network management challenges. Its more than 30 factory parks, more than 1,000 sales outlets and multiple supply chain nodes are distributed around the world. These nodes operate independently, increasing the complexity of overall network management. The company's original traditional LAN/WAN architecture is outdated, lacks flexible expansion capabilities, and cannot meet the needs of new businesses for network stability and security. In addition, as core R&D centers such as Shenzhen, Shanghai, and Beijing continue to increase their requirements for large bandwidth, low latency, and high-availability networks, the company's existing network architecture is unlikely to provide sufficient bandwidth and flexibility to support global business growth and collaboration. Therefore, enterprises urgently need a network solution that can achieve global interconnection and ensure efficient connection between their domestic and foreign R&D centers, production bases, sales networks and supply chains.
