Case Study: Steadfast achieves affordable, high-performance data center services with Juniper Networks

Steadfast Makes Premium Data Center Services Affordable with Juniper and Myriad Supply

Steadfast, a Midwest data‑center and cloud services provider, needed to scale its network to support latency‑sensitive customers (trading, voice, gaming) while keeping prices reasonable. Aging router platforms and earlier vendor solutions produced congestion and slow recovery, so Steadfast sought a high‑density, carrier‑class routing and switching solution that fit its budget and reliability requirements.

Working with Myriad Supply, Steadfast deployed Juniper MX480 core routers, EX9208/EX3300/EX2200 switches and SRX100/220/240 security gateways in fully redundant, meshed data centers running Junos OS with OSPF internal and BGP external peering. The result was a high‑performance, low‑latency, carrier‑class network (100+ peering relationships) that let Steadfast offer premium services at reasonable rates, meet its 100% uptime guarantee, expand managed security offerings, and reduce operational overhead.
