About ATI Industrial Automation

The Challenge with China Connectivity

Customized automation is a huge and complex investment. Often times, service and support are more important to customers than any other aspect of the product, so gaining and earning trust is a key priority for ATI. When the Chinese market, which is central to ATI’s operations, began experiencing Internet performance issues between their US and China sites, ATI knew that finding a reliable connectivity solution was critical. Even though their connection was registered with the Ministry of Industry, ATI’s China-based employees had severe disruptions when trying to access US-based applications. 

The main problems were that the Remote Desktop was not maintaining connection and the Transmission Control Protocol’s random ports were blocked for data transfer, causing reconfigurations on clients and servers.

“Teridion has been a god send for our connectivity with China. We compared many other SD-WAN solutions and Teridion was able to do what other vendors offered with no proprietary equipment. They have gone above and beyond with their service and address any issues quickly. I do not hesitate recommending Teridion for any business that needs fast and reliable connectivity to China.”

ATI used the Teridion China solution to deliver a fast, secure, and reliable site-to-site connection between Langfang, China, and Apex, North Carolina, where the company is headquartered.
