Hardware, hypervisors, and vCenter stood up across two major metro markets to give a newly entered telecom operator the compute foundation for its own SDN-based infrastructure.
Delivered by ThirtyZero's founder in senior technical and compliance roles prior to founding the company. Client names and identifying details are withheld under confidentiality.
The networking side of this deployment, including core SDN configuration, was handled by a separate team under the telecom operator's parent company. This engagement covered the server-side hardware and virtualization foundation, not the network engineering built on top of it.
A new telecom operator entering the Pakistani market needed its server-side infrastructure built from nothing, in two cities, on a timeline set by market entry rather than a comfortable internal schedule.
The infrastructure needed to support the operator's own software-defined networking layer, which meant the compute and virtualization foundation had to be in place and stable before that SDN work could begin.
Delivered hardware deployment for the new operator's server infrastructure across two major metro sites.
Installed hypervisors on the newly deployed hardware and stood up vCenter to manage the virtualized environment centrally across both locations.
Left the operator with a compute and virtualization foundation ready for their own SDN-based infrastructure to be built on top of.
New telecom operators typically need infrastructure close to where their subscribers are, both for performance and for resilience if one site has a problem. Deploying across two major metro markets gave this operator server presence in two of Pakistan's largest population centers from day one.
This engagement covered hardware deployment, hypervisor installation, and vCenter setup: the server-side foundation. The core networking and SDN configuration on top of that foundation was handled by a different team under the operator's parent company, and is not part of what is described here.
It depends heavily on hardware lead times, site readiness in each city, and how much of the environment is being built in parallel versus sequentially. A new market entry typically compresses this timeline compared to a planned internal refresh.
Yes, this describes the kind of infrastructure deployment work ThirtyZero's founder has delivered in a senior infrastructure role. The telecom operator's name is withheld under confidentiality; the scope is described here to show the kind of greenfield build we can plan and deliver.
