Case Study: Ficolo Oy achieves rapid, low‑risk colocation growth and faster time-to-market with Extreme Networks' Capital Solutions and VCS Fabric

Colocation and Cloud Delivery Services Provider Grows Its Future with Innovative Funding and Technology

Ficolo Oy is a Finnish wholesale colocation and cloud delivery provider that built operations in an unconventional underground facility and needed a cost-effective, scalable data-center network to serve service providers and SaaS customers across the Nordics. To avoid large upfront capital outlay and enable modern fabrics and SDN-ready architectures, Ficolo turned to Extreme Networks, deploying Extreme Capital Solutions along with ExtremeSwitching VDX switches and Extreme VCS Fabric technology.

Extreme Networks delivered a pay-as-you-go financing model (Extreme Capital Solutions) plus VDX switches and VCS fabric to provide segmented, scalable 10/40 Gbps networking with included support, eliminating risky equipment purchases and re-leasing. The result: faster, lower-risk launches and stronger competitive positioning—Ficolo can scale on demand, include support in its offerings, and reports about 30% less time to implement new customer networks—helping it win international cloud customers in the Nordic region.
