Case Study: Mid-sized Biotech Company Wanted to Drop Network Hubs in Colo, Switched to Cloud Model with Alkira

Biotech Cloud Networking – A mid-sized biotech company set out to modernize its network by eliminating costly, complex colocation hubs and adopting a cloud-first operating model. By partnering with Alkira, the organization simplified how users, applications, and cloud environments connect—without redesigning its network from scratch—gaining direct cloud access, lower operational overhead, and a more agile foundation to support fast-moving research and innovation.

This case study shows how Alkira’s cloud networking platform enabled the biotech firm to move away from rigid, hub-based architectures and transition to a flexible, consumption-based model built for scale. With centralized network control in the cloud, the company achieved faster deployments, improved performance, and the freedom to expand across regions and cloud providers with confidence, all while reducing complexity and cost.
