Juniper Networks

Meet the demand for high-capacity network servicesThe imperative to deliver profitable services has intensified as organizations of all sizes accelerate the use of technology for customer interactions and business operations.ZettaNet primarily serves managed service providers, who then deliver network, data center and cloud, and voice services to their customers like local businesses, schools, hospitals, residential communities, and government offices in Western and Southern Australia.

Three compounding factors drove Datanet to change its data center network, eventually resulting in a move away from its incumbent network equipment supplier:Datanet’s network equipment was approaching end-of-life, causing concern about its long-term viability. As Datanet’s customers require extremely reliable services with minimal downtime, a future-proofed and high-availability network was needed.As Datanet’s services became more successful and the volume of backup and recovery services increased, it also needed to upgrade the capacity of its network from 1 Gbps to 10 Gbps to keep pace with traffic volumes. Upgrading its existing equipment would have required a substantial investment, almost the same as replacing it completely, prompting Datanet to look for alternative solutions.Datanet had also experienced a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack that its previous vendor had struggled to deal with satisfactorily. It was keen to deploy comprehensive security throughout its new infrastructure as a fundamental design feature, rather than an add-onDatanet decided that it was time to upgrade its network.
