University Revamps Network to Boost App Performance, Simplify Operations
The 6,800-student University of New Haven in Connecticut was expanding and needed to improve reliability and application performance on its data center and campus networks.
The University of New Haven is a liberal arts school with four campuses in Connecticut and one in Italy. With enrollment on the upswing, the university embarked on a much-needed network makeover to improve users’ digital experiences, simplify management, and automate operations.
Business Challenge
With 20 new academic programs, a growing University of New Haven needed to resolve reliability and application performance issues in its backbone, campus networks, and user desktops. The culprit was a legacy Layer 2 network that was unreliable and maxed out.
Business Solution
The university worked with network engineering firm Integration Partners to build a predictable network which was flexible and simple to operate.
Business Results
The university refreshed connectivity in 35 campus buildings and the data center without business interruption. It also overcame its network resiliency and application performance problems while adding a measure of network automation that lets it rapidly provision switches and simplifies ongoing operations.
