Expanded core capacity for escalating customer demand.
Core Network Transformation Enables Market Expansion
A stronger core network for new markets.
Client context
The work begins with the operating reality.
Client
A U.S. telecommunications provider delivering voice, video, and data services to residential and business customers.
EngagementA regional service provider rebuilt its core network to support rising demand, stronger DDoS defense, efficient addressing, and expansion into new markets.
The challenge
What had to change
Pandemic-era growth strained internet, television, and voice capacity across a flat Layer 2 network. Expansion also increased DDoS exposure and the cost of acquiring additional IP addresses.
The provider needed a complete core redesign but lacked the specialized expertise to evaluate and integrate routing, security, and address-management technologies.
The BlueAlly solution
How the work came together
BlueAlly transformed the backbone into a hierarchical Layer 3 network using Juniper MX480 core routing and MX304 edge platforms with 100G and 400G capacity.
The design added inline Corero DDoS mitigation and carrier-grade network address translation to protect services and preserve IPv4 while supporting IPv6.
The results
What changed
The provider gained scalable capacity, more resilient traffic protection, and lower address costs within an 18-month transformation.
DDoS protection could also be offered to connectivity clients as a new service, connecting infrastructure modernization directly to sales growth.
Outcome highlights
What the client gained.
Completed a full backbone transformation.
Moved real-time traffic defense into the network edge.
Created a security service the provider can offer customers.
