A 12-location Ohio manufacturer replaced legacy MPLS with SD-WAN. Plants and offices across Ohio and Indiana landed on one managed network. WAN cost dropped 54%. Fourteen months after cutover: zero unplanned outages. That is the engagement, not a brochure.
We own carriers, WAN, and voice—the circuits, SD-WAN, and phone estate that keep plants and offices connected. We are not a plant helpdesk and not a generic MSP ticket queue.
Buckeye shops and manages the carrier and connectivity layer: DIA and cable at each address, multi-site SD-WAN, OT/IT segmentation design with the providers we source, and voice cutovers. Plant-floor desktop support, MES admin, and day-to-day IT tickets stay with your internal team or MSP. When you need reinforcement on that side, co-managed IT is adjacent—not a rebrand of this page.
Analog fire, elevator, and life-safety pairs are a different job from WAN. See copper POTS and life-safety in Ohio. For the estate operating system across plants—one inventory, one calendar, one number—see multi-site telecom management.
A VoIP system that works fine in a law firm needs a different configuration in a loud facility. OT and IT are not the same network. MPLS that made sense in 2010 is now the line item eating the WAN budget and the reason a new warehouse takes 60–90 days to join.
Cloud ERP and MES do not belong on a congested MPLS tail. SD-WAN prioritizes that traffic, fails over automatically, and gives your internal IT one view across every plant and office.
OT/IT segmentation is standard in the manufacturing deployments we source. VLAN isolation, next-generation firewalls, and monitored access controls separate the floor from the office without stopping production.
Ohio is the third-largest manufacturing state in the country. Automotive in Toledo, aerospace in Dayton, food processing around Columbus, steel in the Mahoning Valley — all of it runs on connected infrastructure, and most of it is still paying 2010 prices for it.
