UNSRI needed to upgrade its network infrastructure to replace the expensive legacy system, connect to its two data centers, and support its goal of becoming the best university in the region. The solution needed to cover the university’s four campuses and vast area.
UNSRI also wanted a solution to facilitate communications between the faculty, administrative staff and students.
The university was working with a strict timeline, with all implementation needing to be finalized by the start of the school year.
