Retailers rely on numerous, widely separated brick-and-mortar locations to conduct their business. They also often utilize temporary or pop-up stores (or even kiosks) where legacy-type wired connectivity may not be feasible or may lack the required performance. However, each of these individual locations, as well as the enterprise as a whole, still require private and public cloud Internet access to facilitate mission-critical applications such as PoS (Point of Sale) systems, data backup, inventory management, marketing, and ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning). Finding and relying on a single service provider to cover all store locations with the required SLAs (Service Level Agreements) and QoS (Quality of Service) requirements is nearly impossible and usually not cost-effective. The lack of IT personnel at store locations presents another challenge within the retail industry. The WAN design therefore needs to be automated and set on autopilot both in the rollout/installation phase as well as, and perhaps even more importantly, in the operations stage.
