The Client

A regional telecommunications and broadband service provider.

The Problem

Faced with aging infrastructure and growing service demands, the client needed a resilient, scalable, and cost-effective networking solution. Their existing hardware—legacy Extreme Networks gear inherited from a Brocade acquisition—was no longer able to meet performance and stability expectations.

The BlueAlly Solution

BlueAlly reengaged with the client, offering a modern network refresh that delivered on performance, reliability, and forward-looking design. The collaboration focused on deploying Juniper’s advanced core routers and integrating DDoS mitigation to protect against service disruptions.

The Results

BlueAlly helped the client transition from problematic legacy hardware to a robust Juniper-based architecture, tailored to handle complex Layer 3 routing across multiple locations. The deployment included:

  • Seven core sites outfitted with Juniper core routers for both edge and core network roles.
  • Upgrade to Juniper Networks® MX304 Universal Routing Platform in 2023, enabling 400Gbps capabilities and superior port density.
  • Implementation of Corero DDoS mitigation to defend against upstream attacks and safeguard downstream clients.

The phased upgrade addressed both operational bottlenecks and security concerns, while positioning the client for continued regional expansion.

High Bandwidth, High Density

With the MX304 routing platform, the client achieved a dramatic leap to 400G performance, future-proofing their core network.

Operational Resilience

DDoS attacks from upstream providers were neutralized by Corero’s purpose-built security layer.

Strategic Modernization

Replacing outdated Extreme and Brocade hardware eliminated recurring issues and allowed the client to scale with confidence.

Regional Advantage

With sites strategically located in the Missouri-Arkansas-Oklahoma-Kansas corridor, the client can now better serve growing bandwidth demand in key commercial hubs.
