Case Study: NET2EZ achieves stable, cost-effective WDM network management with Infinera

Rapidly Growing Service Provider Gets Urgently Needed WDM Network Management Capabilities

Net2EZ, a California-based service provider with seven datacenters and plans to expand further, needed better visibility into its rapidly growing network. The company was struggling with inadequate diagnostic and management tools and high costs as it connected sites with multiple 10 Gb/s and 1 Gb/s links. Infinera’s TM-Series and TG-Series optical networking platform, along with Transport Network Manager (TNM), was selected to improve WDM network management and support the company’s growth.

With Infinera’s solution, Net2EZ gained robust management capabilities, stable and trouble-free infrastructure, and responsive product support. The team could remotely diagnose issues, confirm fiber path redundancy, and identify wavelength loss without physically checking equipment, helping eliminate failures and avoid reactive maintenance. Infinera also delivered a solution that was 40% less expensive than the previous option, while providing the low-latency performance and added capacity Net2EZ needed to serve new markets such as financial services.
