Case Study: Koch Global Business Solutions achieves faster, simpler multi-cloud networking with Alkira

Koch Industries Deploys Alkira For Their Cloud Networking Journey

Koch Global Business Solutions, part of Koch Industries, needed to modernize a highly complex global network spanning hundreds of sites and multiple clouds. With legacy MPLS infrastructure, slow cloud connectivity, and rising demand for cloud-native applications, the company was looking for a faster, more scalable way to support its digital transformation. Alkira’s Network Cloud platform, powered by the Alkira Cloud Services Exchange (CSX), was selected to help solve these networking challenges.

Alkira enabled Koch to recreate its cloud transport hubs in hours instead of months, expand from AWS into Azure in a single day, and simplify operations by reducing the number of hubs needed. The solution delivered low-latency, high-throughput multi-cloud connectivity, built-in visibility, and integrated security services, while helping Koch cut global network operating costs by 40% and dramatically shorten deployment times from years and months to hours and minutes.
