Network Leadership Brief – How a Global Investment Firm Modernized Its Network and Saved Millions with Alkira
Summarize with AI

This Network Modernization Study explores how a global investment firm transformed its legacy WAN into a cloud-native, multicloud network—and saved millions in the process. Facing rising telecom costs, rigid infrastructure, and growing performance demands from cloud-based analytics and trading platforms, the firm turned to Alkira’s Network Infrastructure-as-a-Service (NIaaS) to modernize connectivity across regions and cloud providers with centralized control, automation, and built-in security.

The report details how this shift enabled over 75% reduction in annual network costs while improving agility, reliability, and operational efficiency. Readers will gain insight into why traditional MPLS and hardware-centric WANs fall short for cloud-first enterprises, how infrastructure-as-code reshapes network operations, and what measurable business outcomes are possible with a programmable, consumption-based network model powered by Alkira.
