Case Study: a Florida-based online education program services provider achieves faster, more reliable e-learning performance with FiberLight

a Florida-based online education program services provider cuts storage costs 88% with FiberLight

A Florida-based online education program services provider faced significant network constraints that hindered its business performance. Its existing infrastructure, a mix of DS3 coaxial cable and dark fiber, created data bottlenecks that choked operations, particularly due to a daily influx of email. After a failed attempt to transition to Ethernet, the company sought a new solution partner, FiberLight, to help achieve a 'control-your-own-destiny' network approach.

FiberLight implemented a two-tiered network solution featuring a privately-operated dark fiber ring and Cloud Connect services. The dark fiber provided 10 Gbps capacity and greater control, while Cloud Connect enabled secure, low-latency connections to public clouds like AWS and Azure. As a result, the company achieved accelerated performance, increased scalability, and better security. FiberLight's solution also led to a massive 88% reduction in storage infrastructure costs, from $1.6 million to $200,000 annually.
