California-based open-source networking firm VyOS Networks is helping transform the IT infrastructure of Carrefour in Belgium, a retail chain operating 800 stores and serving more than 700,000 customers daily.

By adopting VyOS, Carrefour has achieved a more flexible, scalable and secure network infrastructure to meet the demands of modern retail.

Carrefour sought to overcome the constraints posed by platforms such as GCP and AWS. By integrating VyOS into its cloud-native strategy, the company achieved seamless scalability and centralised management across its nationwide network.

“As we continue to embrace cloud-native options, we realised that many companies, like ours, face the limitations inherent in platforms such as GCP and AWS,” said Pieter Salaets, network lead at Carrefour (www.carrefour.be). “VyOS can benefit any organisation working entirely in the cloud, helping to overcome these challenges and enabling seamless scalability and flexibility.”

VyOS lets Carrefour adapt to growing operational demands while ensuring robust network performance. The platform integrates effortlessly with cloud and on-premises environments, empowering rapid innovation. It reduces operational expenses by replacing expensive legacy hardware with unified, software-defined networking.

“Carrefour Belgium’s adoption of VyOS demonstrates the potential for open source to solve critical cloud-native challenges while delivering unmatched scalability and cost efficiency,” said Santiago Blanquet, chief revenue officer at VyOS Networks. “We’re honoured to partner with Carrefour Belgium as they lead the retail industry into a modernised, cloud-native future.”
