Case Study

Simnet Accelerates Growth Leveraging Cologix’s Dense Ecosystem

Satisfies growing demand for multicloud aggregation while reducing latency and complexity

By using services from at least two cloud providers, organizations can access cutting-edge technologies, better manage costs and compliance, and become more agile. With this practice of diversifying cloud providers in mind, Simnet was looking to satisfy growing client demand for multicloud aggregation.

Challenge

SIMNET faced growing demand from clients for multicloud aggregation to access advanced technologies, optimize costs and improve agility. However, managing the complexities of hyperscaler services, including navigating data residency laws and unforeseen data transfer costs, became increasingly challenging. To overcome these obstacles, SIMNET partnered with Cologix, a trusted network-neutral and hyperscale edge data center provider in North America, and has relied on their services for over a decade.

Solution

With data centers in Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver, Dallas and New Jersey, Cologix empowered SIMNET's North American customers to establish reliable, secure connections - reducing latency and simplifying the migration of on-premises workloads to the cloud. Leveraging Cologix's ecosystem of 710+ networks, 360+ cloud service providers and 30+ onramps, SIMNET provided its customers with the connectivity and security needed to manage costs and expedite growth. Through Cologix Access Marketplace, their customers gained on-demand connectivity to top cloud providers in minutes. The collaboration also strengthened SIMNET's business continuity and disaster recovery services.

Solution Benefit

SIMNET delivers results across industries. In the financial sector, SIMNET's Cloud, Security and Managed Services have accelerated clients' digital transformation journey, including the migration of on-premises infrastructure to a virtual data center. In healthcare, SIMNET supports hundreds of doctors with enhanced security, reducing IT overhead and ensuring compliance. For real estate, SIMNET provided a reliable, cost-effective virtual desktop that centralized operations, increasing productivity and flexibility for sales agents. In construction, SIMNET replaced Veeam and Zerto with SIMNET.Cloud's DRaaS offering, reducing disaster recovery costs by 50% while ensuring faster recovery times and improved data protection. With growing demand for SIMNET.Cloud across North America, SIMNET is expanding its presence across Canada and the U.S. in key markets where Cologix operates data centers.

Our customers needed our help to address their infrastructure modernization and cloud migration initiatives. Navigating the vast array of hyperscaler services can be overwhelming. The promise of cloud is that it would be fast, simple and secure. And it is not. Until now.
