Advanced Network Integration for Leading Hospitality & Entertainment Corporation

A prominent hospitality and entertainment corporation with multiple resort locations across the United States needed to connect their data centers with cloud service providers to modernize their IT infrastructure while maintaining high availability for their 24/7 operations.

The customer faced significant challenges in establishing reliable, high-performance connectivity between their on-premises data centers and cloud service providers, including IBM Cloud and Microsoft Azure. Their existing network infrastructure required:

• Seamless integration between geographically distributed data centers
• High-availability connections to cloud service providers
• Consistent network performance for mission-critical hospitality and entertainment applications
• Secure data transfer across all environments
• Minimal disruption during implementation to maintain guest experience

CONVX was engaged through a trusted IT solutions partner to provide specialized network expertise for this complex cloud integration project. Our team designed and implemented a comprehensive network solution using Megaport services, which included:

Technical Implementation

• Designed an advanced wide area network (WAN) architecture with Megaport services to connect multiple on-premises data centers with IBM Cloud and Microsoft Azure environments
• Developed and implemented a multi-site IP addressing scheme for consistent network management across all locations
• Created a sophisticated BGP routing design to ensure optimal traffic flow and automatic failover capabilities
• Performed comprehensive discovery of the existing environment to identify integration points and potential challenges
