@STTConnect is a cloud service provider with operations in North America, Europe and numerous Asia Pacific locations. It’s headquartered in Singapore and is part of Singapore Technologies Telemedia.
They wanted to implement #SDN to their data center locations globally. They run a very centralised philosophy for managing their locations. In fact, they have just four highly productive engineers running their data centers.
Moving to SDN fit well with this centralised approach, as it offered automation which would cut the time taken to roll out new parts of their network globally.
David Robinson, STT Connect CTO, then went to the market and shortlisted three key vendors.
A solution from #DellNetworking and involving an SDN controller from #BigSwitch was finally selected.
It came down to a unique mix of service levels, price and Dell’s embracing of open standards that drove the decision.
Using OpenStack, the STT Connect team can now roll out new parts of the network in just hours compared to days without the move to SDN.
