Case Study: GTT Communications achieves greater network visibility, security, and profitability with Kentik

Global Tier-1 GTT Enhances Visibility, Security, and Profit with Kentik

GTT Communications, a top-tier global telecommunications provider, needed a more scalable way to analyze network traffic and gain real-time visibility into performance, profitability, and security. Its internally built system couldn’t provide enough detail to support new customer prospecting or detect anomalies like DDoS attacks, so GTT turned to Kentik and its Kentik Detect platform.

Kentik implemented a SaaS-based NetFlow analytics solution that was activated in less than 48 hours and rolled out across GTT’s global network. With Kentik, GTT automated sales prospecting reporting in 30 days, identified high-potential prospects, improved traffic profitability analysis, expanded cross-department visibility, and enabled real-time DDoS detection and alerting. GTT reported more than 40 active users and a stronger ability to turn network data into business advantage.
