Once we had 10Gbps to play with, email servers…were no issue. I knew that FiberLight was the best way to go. [Deploying a dark fiber ring] has been the best thing that we’ve done.

挑战:
网络 Constraints Hinder Business Success

With a team of over 500 employees across two locations, the company found that its operational and call center network, which featured Digital Signal 3 (DS 3) coaxial cable connecting to its remote data center and dark fiber to connect to the company’s individual locations, was being taxed by an influx of daily email. The use of differing types of connectivity, together with dark fiber, was unregulated and un-permitted, and the varying bandwidth speeds from one type of network to another resulted in data traffic choking and creating a bottleneck to its data center, hindering operations and business performance.

这 interruption led the digital learning provider to transition its network to 以太网 for multipoint connectivity over a metropolitan area network (MAN), but it still experienced issues with network performance, particularly when the ethernet provider’s network interface device (NID) failed, interrupting their operations even further. After a period of trial and error, the company determined that it was in need of a solution partner that could help them achieve a ‘control-your-own-destiny’ network approach, leveraging a reliable mix of dark fiber, dedicated internet access (DIA) and fixed wireless connectivity solutions.

黑暗的纤维 and Cloud Combine for Ultimate Control

FiberLight provided a two-tiered network approach to help the online education services provider achieve accelerated performance, 增强控制, increased scalability and better security. To start, FiberLight helped the company switch over to a privately-operated dark fiber ring. 这暗纤维溶液 allowed the company to customize and future-proof its network, gain control of the equipment it was using, and leverage 10 Gbps capacity as opposed to their previous 100 Mbps. 另外, the company set up a thorough disaster recovery plan to ensure business continuity with internet carrier diversity, implementing Border Gateway Patrol (BGP) management between providers for improved performance and failover assurance. FiberLight’s fiber network ring included a 24-count fiber link to the back parking lot at one of the company’s locations that, in the event that the network was disrupted for any reason— something extremely important to the hurricane-prone Florida area—offers the option to bring trailers in to hook everything up on-site to bring the network back up.

The second part of the solution involved shifting the company’s telephony operations to the cloud. By utilizing a hybrid cloud solution featuring Azure site recovery services for disaster recovery and Amazon Web 服务 (AWS) for long-term backup storage, the company reduced their storage infrastructure costs from $1.6 million to $200,000 annually. 到达他们的云, the company turned to FiberLight’s 云连接 for a low latency, secure and private connection to their public clouds. 云连接 enabled the company to experience greater peace of mind with more secure operations while opening up opportunities for new international clients that can leverage AWS servers throughout the world.
