Juniper Networks has announced that Colruyt Group has deployed Juniper Networks’ solutions to improve its data connectivity in response to exponential growth in network traffic. Colruyt Group consists of more than 40 brands for consumers and businesses, including food and non-food retail, fuel, wholesale and food services. Colruyt must ensure that it provides quality products and convenient services at competitive prices to protect and grow its leadership status. Ensuring the smooth operation of mission-critical applications such as stock controls and technological infrastructure that underpin its customer-facing services is the key to maintaining happy and loyal customers.
Wim Derijnck, Team Manager, Network Solutions, Colruyt, comments, “Colruyt recognized that our existing infrastructure was not equipped to handle the growth that we expect to see in the coming years. The limited throughput of the older switches that were still installed in most of our stores and the existing Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) architecture of our network were beginning to cause bottlenecks. Network saturations would occasionally overload switches and take locations offline, potentially causing inconvenience for our customers. Juniper Networks’ solutions enable us to reduce the risk of downtime and increase our network availability from 10 Gbps to 40 Gbps,driving customer satisfaction and loyalty across our stores and online sites.”
Facing a rapid increase in demand for its products and services across the company’s portfolio, Colruyt needed to upgrade its WAN and LAN to ensure that it could respond effectively to the growth in network activity.
James Morgan, Vice President of Enterprise, EMEA, Juniper Networks, says, “Customers expect a smooth shopping experience without delays or risk. This means that companies undergoing digital transformation have todeploy the right network to underpin every aspect, from CCTV cameras to in-store POS and e-commerce sites. As a long-established retailer, Colruyt has moved with the times to understand the value of simplified engineering in its network, enabled by Juniper technology, to deliver innovation, performance and security.”
