Case Study: Nyherji achieves Iceland’s first software-defined IT infrastructure with Juniper Networks

Iceland’s VMware Provider Delivers the Country’s First Software Defined IT Infrastructure

Nýherji, one of Iceland’s largest IT providers and the country’s leading VMware partner serving over 1,000 clients, needed a modern, open network to keep pace with business growth, enable software-defined networking (SDN), and integrate tightly with VMware NSX. The company wanted a reference architecture that would allow automated, faster provisioning for customers, lower operational costs, and maintain its position as Iceland’s “cloud connector.”

After an RFQ process Nýherji implemented a Juniper MetaFabric solution using MX104 and MX240 edge routers and QFX5100 switches, running 10GbE and Junos OS. The deployment delivered SDN-ready, open integration with VMware, simplified operations via Virtual Chassis and unified OS management, faster customer provisioning (minutes instead of hours), reduced TCO and power use, and a high-density platform Nýherji can now show as a reference for its customers.
