Telecom Provider Deploys GKE Environment With CDW and Google
A telecom leader teamed with CDW and Google to deploy their first Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) environment, delivering a scalable, high-performance solution for containerized applications.
A century-old telecommunications leader partnered with CDW and Google to deploy their first Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) environment. This collaboration delivered a high-performance, scalable solution with low-latency capabilities tailored for containerized applications. By building a rapid Google Cloud Platform (GCP) landing zone and providing Kubernetes expertise, CDW empowered the client with a robust infrastructure for future innovation.
With over 100 years of broadband expertise, this telecommunications company delivers cutting-edge communication solutions at scale. Seeking operational efficiency, they collaborated with CDW and Google Cloud to transform their Kubernetes capabilities and introduce a streamlined approach to managing containerized applications.
Challenges in Managing High-Performance Applications
The client faced challenges deploying a third-party containerized application designed for high-throughput, low-latency data processing. Without prior Kubernetes experience and concerns about managing complex infrastructure, the company required an optimized, reliable Kubernetes environment hosted on GCP.
Comprehensive Solution Tailored for Scalability
CDW identified the client’s need for a secure, high-performance Kubernetes platform and created an actionable plan. Partnering with Google, the CDW team developed and deployed a GCP landing zone with direct connection circuits for seamless deployment.
The infrastructure solution included a robust GKE environment to host containerized applications, enabling the platform to meet the client’s low-latency, high-throughput demands. CDW’s experts also provided hands-on guidance, ensuring knowledge transfer as the client familiarized themselves with Kubernetes and GKE management best practices.
Transformative Outcomes with GCP Kubernetes Integration
The client now operates a production-grade GKE environment built on a solid GCP foundation. This scalable solution streamlines the deployment and management of their containerized application with exceptional performance.
The partnership has expanded beyond the initial project, with the client re-engaging CDW for managed services and additional cloud solutions.
“We had no expertise internally with Kubernetes, so this was a venture into uncharted territory. The team was patient with us as we learned and the project progressed. Highly recommend.”
