Case Study: a leading telecom company achieves 70% lower TCO with Aviz Networks Open Packet Broker

Future Proof Network Packet Broker Renovation for a Leading Telecom Company

The customer, a leading telecom company, faced a significant challenge when its existing Bigswitch Packet Broker solution reached end-of-life. This situation threatened to impose expensive upgrades and vendor lock-in from the new owner, Arista. The telecom company sought a future-proof and cost-effective replacement to avoid proprietary dependencies and sought the help of Aviz Networks.

Aviz Networks implemented its Open Packet Broker (OPB) Suite, a software-defined and switch vendor-agnostic solution. This allowed the customer to reuse over 100 existing switches, avoid vendor lock-in, and achieve a 70% reduction in total cost of ownership. The deployment provided the flexibility to choose from multiple hardware vendors while maintaining full network monitoring and security functionality.
