The Problem

Faced with aging infrastructure and growing service demands, Sho-Me Technologies 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 Sho-Me Technologies, 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 Sho-Me 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 MX304 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 Sho-Me for continued regional expansion.

High Bandwidth, High Density

With the MX304 platform, Sho-Me 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Replacing outdated Extreme and Brocade hardware eliminated recurring issues and allowed Sho-Me to scale with confidence.

Regional Advantage

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