About the Customer
UGT CloudForce — Uganda's Enterprise Cloud Provider
UGT CloudForce is a leading cloud infrastructure provider in Uganda, serving enterprise customers with secure, scalable cloud services.
The organization needed to transition from traditional VLAN-based networking to a modern overlay architecture capable of supporting large-scale multi-tenant workloads with strict isolation requirements.
The Challenge
Network Limitations Blocking Growth
VLAN Scaling Limits
Traditional VLAN architecture limited to ~4,096 networks, restricting tenant growth potential.
Tenant Isolation
Basic network segmentation unable to meet enterprise-grade security and isolation requirements.
Cross-Zone Complexity
Difficult to extend networks across availability zones for high availability and disaster recovery.
The Solution
VXLAN Overlay Architecture
StackOps deployed a modern VXLAN-based overlay network architecture enabling unlimited scalability and enterprise-grade tenant isolation.
