Case Study: national healthcare organisation achieves rapid Microsoft Teams rollout with Zayo hybrid cloud networking

National Healthcare Organisation rolls out Microsoft Teams to 1.2 million users in 7 days with Zayo

A global Systems Integrator partnered with Zayo to address a complex digital transformation challenge for a national healthcare organisation in Europe. The customer needed to re-platform a secure nationwide service to the public cloud, support Microsoft 365 workloads, and enable critical collaboration tools during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Zayo's solution involved upgrading data centre internet capacity, providing DDoS protection, and implementing a Hybrid Cloud IP-VPN with CloudLink connections to AWS and Azure. This secure, scalable network allowed the systems integrator to roll out Microsoft Teams to 1.2 million users within seven days. Adoption surged by 275% in three days, with over 300,000 employees using the platform for millions of calls and messages, enabling effective remote care during lockdowns.
