Challenge
School was looking to deploy an iPad program and existing campus had SonicWall SonicPoint wireless that was outdated and on 802.11b/g.Wireless coverage issues. Too many physical servers out of warranty running outdated Windows 2003 Server and Exchange 2003 with a single point of failure. Need a collaboration platform for administration.
Technologies
- Xirrus Wireless
- HP Network Switching
The Solution
A network discovery and wireless survey was performed to generate a Bill of Materials. HP Switching was installed with 10Gbps uplinks from each IDF to a redundant HP Chassis Core switch. Xirrus Wireless Arrays were installed throughout the campus. A guest portal page for guest wireless was created to allow for parents and guests to have high performance internet access while on the campus. A post site wireless survey was performed to confirm coverage and performance throughout the campus.
The Results
The network infrastructure is much more stable
The network is completely documented, allowing for the day to day IT operations to be easier
The wireless is high performance and the coverage thruout the campus is excellent
Guests are able to access the wireless securely and separated from the schools network
