Swiss network engineering firm NWPS built a greenfield BGP multihoming network on OcNOS SP to keep a Swiss hospital online with carrier-grade resilience. The deployment runs OcNOS SP IP-BASE on UfiSpace S9600-72XC routers fitted with OP2 external TCAM, holds the full global routing table in hardware, and has recorded no outages in ten months of production. It lands at roughly 60% lower CapEx than a comparable proprietary offer, with no recurring software fees.
The Challenge
Internet connectivity for a hospital cannot fail. NWPS needed to remove single-ISP dependency for a Swiss critical-healthcare customer and stand up dual-stack BGP multihoming from day one. The platform had to carry the full IPv4 and IPv6 global routing table in hardware, match the feature depth of traditional vendors, and fit a budget that made the business case work.
The Solution
NWPS selected OcNOS SP IP-BASE running on UfiSpace S9600-72XC routers with OP2 external TCAM at the core and aggregation layer. The design carries more than 1.27 million routes in hardware and supports dual-stack IPv4 and IPv6 from day one.
- OcNOS SP IP-BASE on UfiSpace S9600-72XC with OP2 external TCAM
- Dual-stack BGP multihoming for ISP-independent connectivity
- Core and aggregation roles on a single open networking stack
Outcomes
- No recorded outages across ten months of production operation
- Full global routing table (1.27M+ routes) held in hardware
- Approximately 60% lower CapEx than a comparable proprietary offer
- No recurring software fees
- Single-ISP risk eliminated for a critical-healthcare workload
Why OcNOS
“When you are building internet infrastructure for a hospital, failure is simply not an option. OcNOS gave us the carrier-grade feature set and hardware performance to deliver exactly that, at a price point that made the business case undeniable. This is what open networking looks like when it is done right,” said Lino Moragon, Co-CEO, NWPS.
“From a technical standpoint, OcNOS checked every box: full BGP table in hardware, dual-stack from day one, and a feature set that holds up against the traditional vendors. What we did not expect was how smooth the after-sales experience would be,” said Markus Wellauer, Co-CEO, NWPS.
