Bite Latvija is a leading telecommunications and ICT provider in Latvia, offering mobile, internet, and TV services, along with a broad range of business-critical ICT solutions. As the only triple-play operator in the country with its own infrastructure, Bite Latvija supports both private and business clients with services designed to keep them connected, protected, and future-ready.
With ambitious plans to expand its 5G network to 85 percent of the population by 2025, along with continued investments in cybersecurity, innovation, and fiber infrastructure, Bite Latvija is positioning itself not just as a service provider, but as a trusted and long-term technology partner in Latvia’s rapidly growing digital future.
As Bite Latvija prepared to launch a new generation of cloud services, they had the opportunity to design their infrastructure from the ground up. Data resilience, performance, and long-term scalability were key priorities.
Deploying Ceph in a highly available, multi-site setup required a deeper level of technical understanding. Ensuring uptime and data safety was non-negotiable for delivering critical ICT services.
Moving from planning to production meant thoroughly validating design choices, gaining hands-on practical expertise, and having the right support structure in place to effectively manage operational risk.
As Bite Latvija continued to grow and innovate, ensuring smooth operations and strong security became a key priority. Seeing this as a strategic challenge, they partnered with 42on to reinforce their infrastructure and support their ambitions with confidence.
42on provided hands-on training, expert consultancy, and Emergency Assistance. This strengthened internal expertise, validated architectural approaches, and ensured a reliable support structure for a production-ready, geographically redundant Ceph deployment. The training sessions provided by 42on helped deepen the team’s understanding of Ceph’s core concepts and confirmed that their planned implementation aligned with best practices. It also created space for idea exchange, knowledge sharing, and practical improvements, all of which contributed to a more reliable and optimized cluster design.
Bite Latvija was onboarded into 42on’s Emergency Assistance program, which provides expert-level support, proactive check-ins, and a dedicated ticketing system. This gave the team confidence as they expanded and maintained critical services across their growing infrastructure. In addition, ongoing consultancy ensured they had a reliable point of contact for technical questions, strategic input, and continuous improvement. With 42on’s guidance, the team was able to make informed decisions, optimize their infrastructure over time, and stay aligned with evolving business and operational needs.
Bite Latvija successfully deployed a Ceph cluster distributed across multiple data centers, achieving true geographic redundancy and enhancing high-availability services.
Training built internal confidence, providing a strong foundation for ongoing operations. The team gained clarity on complex technical areas and validated their deployment strategy.
With Ceph in place, Bite Latvija is better equipped to expand its ICT offerings and support Latvia’s digital infrastructure with speed, flexibility, and confidence.
Emergency Assistance from 42on reduced risk and improved stability, allowing Bite Latvija to focus on delivering value to their customers.
42on supports Ceph teams with the complete operation of Ceph clusters by providing Consultancy, Training, Emergency Assistance, and Managed Services.
