Copper River IT
Implementing High-Performance Networking Solutions

In the current networking world, companies focus on offering network services rather than designing solutions. The challenge was to suggest the right solution for clients to enhance their networking performance. The Alaska-based Copper River IT chiefly focuses on providing products and solutions that transform the way the networking clients do business. “Established in 2006, Copper River IT provides dynamic, comprehensive IT solutions and services to federal government, commercial enterprises, service providers, and telecommunication customers,” says Ben Brucker, CEO of Copper River IT. The company is a provider of program-focused advanced network/systems engineering solutions and enterprise support services.

Being an elite partner of Juniper Networks, the company provides services for Juniper’s products and solutions for enterprise networking clients. With Juniper’s solutions, Copper River provides high-performance and a secure networking solution for the networking enterprises. The company also helps clients in implementing Juniper’s networking solutions such as IP switching, routing, security, application acceleration, and network management. Furthermore, the company offers its own innovative networking solutions and services.

Copper River’s Virtualization Solution, offered with Juniper, has benefits of IT cost savings, business service agility and increased network flexibility. “Our procedures and methodologies ensure that we provide industry leading designs and complete implementation services for any virtualization initiative,” says Brucker. Copper River also offers Juniper’s data center solution that delivers cloud and Internet exchange (IX) infrastructure services. The solution optimizes the existing technology infrastructure and improves the network agility, security, and flexibility of client’s system.“While being an expert in traditional data center architecture solutions, Copper River IT has also been successful in driving innovative designs leveraging new programmable network architectures and SDN-driven orchestration solutions,” adds Brucker.

“We combine our product portfolios with engineering, design, and professional services expertise to craft a complete, end-to-end technology solution for our clients,” says Brucker.

For instance, CyrusOne, a cloud builder, requested Copper River to build a network of data centers to support their demand for cloud computing. “The client required a robust, scalable platform to facilitate connectivity among data centers and support rapid build-out of new facilities,” says Brucker. To meet their demands, Copper River upgraded the existing data center to nationwide network that interconnects its data centers and implemented Juniper’s MX80 3D Series Universal Edge Router to provide customer connectivity. With Juniper’s solutions, the client increased their scalability, reliability, and flexibility of nationwide network for cloud data centers. “They were able to support their rapid build-out of data centers and use a simplified network in low-cost with converged packet transport,” adds Brucker.

While being an expert in traditional data center architecture solutions, Copper River IT has also been successful in driving innovative designs, leveraging new programmable network architectures

The company’s investment in technology, training, and its continued desire to maintain a broad technical skill make them a valued partner to Juniper Networks. Copper River IT has been active not only in providing networking solutions but also in consulting, designing, and implementing healthcare technologies for other clients. Copper River IT values commitment, results, and accountability which set them apart.

For the days to come, the company will continue to focus on offering end-to-end IT products, solutions and support which results in profitable and sustainable growth for the clients. The company plans to continue providing solutions for federal customers with their elite portfolio of products and exceptional services that will support their unique requirements.
