Customer Success Story
Reliam Helps Customers Embrace Hybrid Cloud with High-Performance Data Center
To begin offering hybrid cloud and back-up services while ensuring continual customer uptime, managed service provider Reliam overhauled its data center.
A managed web service provider since 2001, Reliam saw new opportunities to serve customers with hybrid cloud services and on-premises cloud backup. To maintain its white-glove reputation, the company needed to ensure 24/7 uptime for customers, which required a data center with carrier-grade reliability.
Business Challenge
To deploy new hybrid cloud and backup services, Reliam sought a way to ensure cloud-scale performance and reliability and eliminate past issues with network performance. Serving mission-critical customer applications required that it reconstruct its data center with a redundant core network and high availability at the edge.
Technology Solution
Reliam deployed a data center network fabric based on the Juniper Unite Cloud architecture and secured by Juniper SRX firewalls. With a Virtual Chassis Fabric, Reliam has a highly redundant core network that supports a mix of Ethernet connections. An MX104 3D Universal Edge Router delivers 80 Gbps of capacity and a redundant control plane for high availability.
Business Results
Reliam has increased throughput and resilience and enhanced security. Dramatic performance improvements mean customers receive true 10-Gbps throughput – better service than they could afford to build themselves. Reliam can now meet growing demand for private, direct connections to Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and other cloud services.
