Case Study: a leading renewable energy cooperative modernizes its network and gains cost-effective agility with VyOS

a leading renewable energy cooperative transforms its network with VyOS and 4.8/5-rated support

The customer, a leading renewable energy cooperative, faced significant challenges with its proprietary Cisco network infrastructure, including deteriorating vendor support, forced expensive upgrades, and complex licensing. Seeking to gain control and leverage the benefits of disaggregation, they required a solution with a command-line interface and chose VyOS as their network operating system.

VyOS provided a cost-effective, open-source solution that allowed the cooperative to leverage its existing hardware. The implementation successfully delivered high latency management, on-premises VPN endpoints, and robust routing capabilities with integrated security features like IPSec and PKI authentication. This transformation gave the cooperative enhanced operational control, improved network protection, and a scalable foundation for future expansion.
