Case Study: Fastcom achieves rapid customer onboarding and scalable growth with Extreme Networks Fabric

Fabric Helps Fuel Growth at Fastcom

Fastcom, a managed services provider serving thousands of business customers across New Zealand and Australia, faced rapid growth and an overstretched network that needed automation, zero‑touch provisioning, stronger security and faster onboarding. To modernize its infrastructure and support a strategy of expanding services and customers, Fastcom selected Extreme Networks and adopted a Fabric‑based architecture using ExtremeSwitching and Extreme Fabric Connect.

Extreme Networks implemented the Fabric solution to provide automated, secure and scalable networking, freeing Fastcom’s small team from manual configuration and enabling rapid service rollouts. The result: customer onboarding times dropped from weeks to days, Fastcom absorbed the Sietec acquisition (doubling its customer base) in four months with zero downtime instead of the planned year, and the company scaled significantly without increasing network management staff.
