Large Software Company Implements Alkira for Cloud Management

This case study details how a large software and services company utilized Alkira to streamline its cloud networking approach after years of unstructured development. Tasked by the CIO, the network architect evaluated multiple platforms and selected Alkira for its rapid deployment capabilities, allowing the team to set up a proof-of-concept environment within hours. The implementation of Alkira provided the company with enhanced visibility into traffic flows and reduced the need for additional network specialists. The network team was able to quickly integrate development environments across major cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. The case study outlines significant improvements, including an 80% reduction in staff and calendar time required to add new cloud environments and a 100% decrease in time to add new security services. Alkira's centralized approach eliminated the need for extensive changes to firewall rule-sets, enabling continuous development without the constraints of change-freeze periods.
