From Catalonia to Patagonia: Conservas Dani trusts Cloud365 to take connectivity to the next level
The Dani Group was facing one of the biggest connectivity challenges: establishing a stable and efficient link between its Data Center in Catalonia and its factory in Patagonia, separated by nearly 12,000 km. Cloud365 implemented an SD-WAN solution from its partner Aryaka, operational in just two days, eliminating latency and instability issues while significantly improving application performance and user experience.

About the Client
Dani began as a family business in 1946, dedicated to the representation of spices and canned goods. It evolved into a producer, manufacturer, and distributor, establishing itself as one of the leading companies in the food sector in Spain and internationally. Today, it has over 800 employees, four facilities (Barcelona, Galicia, Chile, and the United Kingdom), and a presence in more than 50 countries.
Challenges
For Dani’s operations in Chile, connectivity to its Data Center in Catalonia is critical. The distance of about 12,000 km between the two locations posed major connectivity challenges, affecting business performance and team productivity. The previous system, based on a point-to-point VPN over the Internet, had several limitations:
- Application instability
- Slow file transfers
- Frequent VoIP communication failures
- Database queries with high response times
Cloud365 Approach and Solution
To overcome these challenges, Cloud365 implemented an SD-WAN solution from its partner Aryaka, which includes:
- Global private network, with dedicated circuits, low latency, and high quality, with more than 40 POPs on all continents, including Madrid and Santiago, Chile
- Data compression, reducing traffic and increasing performance
- CIFS Proxy, ensuring exceptional performance when accessing files on Microsoft File Server
- TCP optimization, accelerating connection establishment and data transfer
- Fast and simple implementation, operational in just two days, using only standard Internet connections at the sites, with no need for a dedicated circuit
- Managed service, with a Client portal that offers full visibility of the network and application traffic
- Competitive and transparent pricing model, recently optimized
Results
After implementation, the improvement was immediate and measurable:
- Stable and clear VoIP communications
- Much faster file access, thanks to data compression and the CIFS Proxy
- Real-time queries to critical databases
- Smooth and responsive ERP usage
- More productive operations and more satisfied users
- Network visibility, allowing quick identification of incidents and areas for improvement
Technical data confirms the results:
- Madrid–Santiago latency: 167 ms, ensuring intercontinental stability
- Traffic compression rate: up to 99%
- Drastic reduction in TCP connection establishment time, from over 200 ms to about 20 ms
