Yara, a global leader in crop nutrition, needed a cloud networking solution to simplify and secure their multicloud environment.
Challenge:
Yara encountered significant challenges with CSP networking complexities, which threatened their ability to meet infrastructure SLA commitments. Navigating multicloud environments and ensuring consistent security and visibility required a robust solution to streamline operations.
Solution:
Aviatrix delivered a common networking and security platform across all of Yara’s public clouds and streamlined its multicloud operations. Being cloud-agnostic has allowed Yara to quickly onboard additional public clouds and scale to meet business requirements, without being bogged down by the complexities that would have caused delays and direct impact to business-critical application delivery schedules.
Impact:
Aviatrix streamlined Yara's multicloud operations by delivering consistent networking, enhanced security, and faster threat mitigation across clouds.
"Aviatrix makes both deployment automation and day-two operations much simpler than native cloud networking and delivers on our requirement for a multicloud solution."

Streamlining Multicloud Management with Aviatrix
The team saw quick success using Aviatrix to develop a consistent cloud network that simplified the complexities of the AWS-native infrastructure. After proving this initial use case, the team expanded its Aviatrix deployment across the organization. “Aviatrix ticks a lot of our boxes,” Van Damme stated. “Aviatrix makes both deployment automation and day-two operations much simpler than native cloud networking and delivers on our requirement for a multicloud solution.”
Accelerating Business with Complete, Centralized Visibility
Looking ahead, Yara plans to merge many of its formerly independent DevOps cloud networks into the organization’s more extensive WAN, SD-WAN, and other traditional networking technologies. By centralizing its IT services, Van Damme and his team will ensure Yara’s global networking team has full visibility and troubleshooting capabilities across the organization’s public cloud providers. Meanwhile, local engineering teams can remain productive independent of what cloud they choose to operate in.
While the Yara team is now confident in their ability to operate the Aviatrix cloud network independently, Van Damme shared that he was happy to have help from Aviatrix Professional Services to establish Yara’s target state goals and receive consistent guidance throughout its implementation. He emphasized that Aviatrix’s strong customer focus sets it apart from other software providers.
Yara is a global crop nutrition company that produces, distributes, and sells fertilizers and related industrial products.
