IP Infusion OcNOS® Powers IzarLink’s Data Center Modernization Across Southern France

In partnership with Pine Networks, IzarLink leverages open networking to deliver carrier-grade scalability and eliminates vendor lock-in

SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--IP Infusion, a global leader in open networking software solutions, today announced that IzarLink, a premier French regional telecommunications operator, has successfully deployed OcNOS® to modernize its data center core network in collaboration with system integrator Pine Networks.

IzarLink selected OcNOS to power a resilient EVPN-VXLAN Core, interconnecting data centers and peering locations. The solution aggregates 25G access into a redundant 100G core, supporting BGP, OSPF, multi-homing, and real-time streaming telemetry. Delivered via a simple licensing model, OcNOS ensures carrier-grade stability and hardware independence while significantly reducing long-term total cost of ownership (TCO).

“Our priority is delivering digital infrastructure that our customers can depend on, and that meets the highest regulatory standards, including ISO 27001 and HDS certification for health data,” said Alexis Guirlé, CEO of IzarLink. “IP Infusion OcNOS provided the technical depth and improved network economics that enabled us to timely upgrade our data center core with future-proof scale, security, and resilience.”

The integration was managed by Pine Networks, ensuring a seamless transition with IzarLink’s existing Cisco and MikroTik infrastructure.

“IzarLink’s approach reflects a clear focus on long-term service quality and operational excellence,” said Hadi Choueiry, General Manager of Pine Networks. “Our role was to translate that vision into a production-ready deployment, combining local expertise with OcNOS to deliver a resilient, future-proof data center core.“

“IzarLink is a prime example of a regional provider putting its end users first by investing in a modern, agile network,” said Tom Savoie, CEO of IP Infusion. “We are thrilled that OcNOS is helping IzarLink achieve a modern network core and a significantly lower TCO over the next decade compared to traditional legacy vendors.”
