Network Design and Deployment to Streamline Digital Operations

Our client, a leading energy provider, separated from its parent company to focus on supplying clean energy solutions to commercial and residential customers. This separation necessitated designing and deploying separate network infrastructure with enhanced performance and scalability, including new core networks in data center colocation sites. However, this massive network deployment and IT environment migration presented numerous challenges, including a strict deadline. Due to our tailored approach and expertise, our client chose BlueAlly to complete this project, resulting in a scalable network infrastructure that expedited the company’s transition into an independent entity.
