Case Study: Multinational Media Company achieves a future-ready, high-performance network with Kyndryl

Multinational media company prepares for the future of entertainment

Multinational Media Company faced an aging, end-of-support network that threatened availability for mission‑critical services (phone, VoIP, Exchange, broadcast scheduling/archiving) and was limiting digital innovation. The company engaged Kyndryl for software‑defined networking services, working with Kyndryl and Cisco to use Cisco Catalyst 9300 and Cisco Nexus 9300‑EX switches plus Cisco DNA and Cisco ACI to meet a zero‑disruption switchover requirement.

Kyndryl assessed the environment, ran meticulous testing and a phased migration, and deployed the new Cisco‑based, software‑driven network architecture. The Kyndryl solution raised bandwidth from 40 Gbit to 100 Gbit, cut latency by 40%, increased availability by 32%, delivered a zero‑disruption migration, and enabled automated provisioning and monitoring to improve operational efficiency and reduce time‑to‑market.
