Turning growth into your greatest advantage

What does it take to support a nation’s most sensitive data while staying ahead of evolving cyber threats? For Proximus NXT, the answer lies in balancing cutting-edge innovation with unshakable reliability. Proximus NXT has become a driving force behind secure infrastructure, advanced connectivity, and digital transformation. Serving a diverse client base — from financial institutions and startups to public sector organizations — Proximus combines local expertise with global reach to deliver solutions that prioritize customer outcomes. 

Two decades ago, Proximus faced a pivotal question: How could it design a storage solution capable of safeguarding sensitive, high-volume workloads for major institutional clients while meeting Luxembourg’s stringent data governance standards? The answer wasn’t just about performance or scalability. It required a solution that could ensure business continuity, regulatory compliance, and rapid local support — all while adapting to the evolving threats of cybercrime and the growing complexity of customer environments.

Proximus turned to NetApp^® as a strategic partner, building an infrastructure that could meet these demands and more. Together, they implemented a portfolio of NetApp solutions, including:

• NetApp^® AFF A-Series for high performance
• NetApp^® AFF C-Series and NetApp® E-Series for scalable capacity
• NetApp^® ASA and NetApp® FAS systems for flexible protocol support
• FlexPod^® converged architecture for unified virtualized workloads

With NetApp Snapshot^™ and SnapMirror^®, Proximus has redefined resilience. Instant recovery is now routine, and disaster recovery is seamless, with zero data loss during incidents.

Advanced anti-ransomware protection continually monitoring for suspicious activity while multi-layered deduplication, compression, and inline encryption protect customer information and maintain compliance with Luxemboulations.

Multi-protocol support from NetApp allows Proximus’ internal technical teams with specialized training and certifications in NetApp solutions, Azure, VMware, and more, to integrate storage seamlessly with clients’ environments — as well as virtualization and cloud platforms — ensuring every managed service is resilient, efficient, and future-ready.

Today, Proximus delivers high-performance, scalable solutions that power mission-critical workloads for its clients. NetApp technology ensures business continuity with non-disruptive upgrades and rapid recovery, even in the face of cyber threats.

For example, when an Active Directory server failed, NetApp’s SVM failover feature instantly activated secondary systems, minimizing downtime and keeping operations on track.

Proximus’ commitment to sustainability is equally impressive. Despite a fivefold increase in data volumes over the past decade, energy consumption has remained stable, helping both Proximus and its customers meet carbon reduction goals without sacrificing performance.

Cyber resilience has become a competitive advantage, with antiransomware protection actively mitigating threats and enabling rapid recovery, preserving data integrity and trust. This security infrastructure is largely invisible to the end customer, but its tangible impact is felt in smoother operations, fortified compliance, and peace of mind. 

Perhaps most importantly, this partnership empowers Proximus to deliver sovereign cloud solutions and managed services that meet strict regulatory demands for data localization in Luxembourg. The ability to keep sensitive data and critical operations reliably managed and protected has opened new doors for business growth, government adoption, and even AI innovation.

Looking ahead, Proximus is set to expand its leadership in data-driven transformation. With NetApp as the platform of choice, the company is advancing AI initiatives and pioneering sovereign cloud strategies based on the latest NetApp infrastructure, such as disconnected GDPR-compliant cloud environments. These initiatives promise to further secure Luxembourg’s digital economy, underpin future innovations, and empower organizations to confidently embrace nextgeneration capabilities.

Cyber resilience and sustainability will remain top priorities, as Proximus adapts its portfolio to ever-evolving customer needs and regulatory frameworks. The arrival of MetroCluster® simplifies system management and upgrades and underscores a commitment to nondisruptive innovation. Proximus’ teams — certified across NetApp and leading cloud platforms — are equipped to rapidly deploy, scale, and secure digital workloads for clients, ensuring business agility and sustained growth in the face of new opportunities and threats. 

Across more than two decades, Proximus’ story with NetApp is a testament to purposeful technological partnership, continuous modernization, and a shared drive for resilient growth.

Together, they are unlocking the potential of secure digital transformation for every customer who aspires to thrive in Luxembourg and beyond.
