The world of retail has changed dramatically in the last 50 years, particularly as the digital transformation has continued to pick up steam. With so many ways in which consumers can transact, numerous methods of servicing retail consumers, and multiple retail infrastructure models, NRF 2019 – Retail’s Big Show seeks to provide the answers everyone is looking for in one single location on January 13 – 15, 2019 in New York City.
VMware is a sponsor of this year’s NRF show and will be demonstrating its solutions for retail in its booth, #1057. How does VMware SD-WAN by VeloCloud help retail enterprises?
To connect stores, distribution centers, and online warehouses with effective omnichannel capabilities is often a struggle for retail IT professionals because of ever-increasing network complexity and sky-rocketing costs. To alleviate the pressure, retailers must make the move to the profitable Store of the Future and the network — particularly the WAN — must evolve to keep pace.
Network downtime and security breaches results in lost sales, but there are other issues that plague retail and can lead to a deteriorating customer experience.
VMware SD-WAN by VeloCloud has saved retail organizations millions of dollars in capital and operating expenses. Retailers stay profitable and can focus on their core business while letting VMware SD-WAN bring in simplicity and automation to their networks.
To further demonstrate the breadth and depth of its retail offerings with best-in-
breed vendors, VMware has invited several of its partners to join it in the booth. Partner Showcase participants include Windstream Enterprise, QoS Networks, and Zscaler. Additional partners include Dell and Intel.
