Under their brand Citynet, they currently serve 5,000 customers and provide a variety of reliable networking and connectivity solutions for regional and international businesses.

Facing growing bandwidth demand, Citynet evaluated its existing options; pandemic market shortages of hardware, overall growing bandwidth demand and other factors created a challenging upgrade environment.

“IP Infusion’s industry-standard CLI aided the transition immensely,” said Matthias Feistmantl, Senior Network Operations Engineer and Architect for Citynet. “The OcNOS feature set is extensive, and the product roadmap is compelling and timely.
