Business Challenge
OGD needed a competitive edge in the crowded, fast-paced IT services market. It set out to speed its data center services turn-up times and offer customers a self-service portal where they could migrate their own applications and perform other tasks themselves. A multitenant IaaS setup with network virtualization running on a physical Juniper network was the solution that helped OGD achieve its goals.
Technology Solution
OGD worked closely with Juniper to implement a network aligned with the principles of the MetaFabric™ architecture, using SRX firewalls and QFX5100 switches. The Juniper equipment powers OGD’s virtualization deployment in VMware NSX.
Business Results
OGD can now deploy IT services in about a day, rather than taking up to four months, and customers can use the self-service portal to roll out applications in record time. As a result, OGD has created positive cash flow in a competitive market and expects to achieve full ROI within three years of its initial investment.
