Overview

Calsonic Kansei (China) Holding Company is a subsidiary of Calsonic Kansei Corporation of Japan, a global company involved in the design and manufacturing of automotive parts. Calsonic Kansei China has experienced rapid growth since it was established in 2002, and has more than 4,000 employees across 14 locations in nine Chinese cities.

When Calsonic Kansei China, a leading manufacturer of automotive components, sought to manage its rapid growth by employing a cloud-first strategy, the introduction of bandwidth-intensive applications and services to the network resulted in a sharp rise in IT spending; and poor application performance impacted end-user experience, productivity, and collaboration. Calsonic Kansei China deployed Riverbed® SteelHead™ in order to accelerate the performance of business-critical SaaS applications like Microsoft Office 365, curbing rising IT costs and paving the way for future digital transformation initiatives.
