Case Study: Fon Technology achieves secure, reliable log management with syslog-ng

Fon Technology - Customer Case Study

Fon Technology, the operator of the world’s largest WiFi network, needed a highly reliable log management solution to keep up with rapid infrastructure growth, strict partner expectations, and regulatory requirements across many countries. A key concern was preventing lost messages during transfer from log sources to the central log server, and the company used syslog-ng Open Source Edition before upgrading.

Fon implemented syslog-ng Premium Edition with features such as client-side disk buffers, client-side failover, and application-level acknowledgement via RLTP, along with a high-availability setup using a secondary log server. The upgrade was completed in just days because most of the configuration was already in place, and syslog-ng helped Fon improve log transfer and storage reliability while introducing new features quickly.
