connecting the school's main campus with its satellite

Executive Perspectives
Vijay Sonty, CIO, Utica College
"With the help of Extreme,
we've reduced the complexity of our network and made it easier for
people to access and use our systems. The gains in efficiency and
simplicity alone have had true bottom line results. Now, a single
network engineer can easily maintain a network that serves 4,000
users, where the customary ratio is one engineer to 200 users.
Overall, Extreme built a robust network at a savings of close to
$1 million over their competitors –
and they did it in less than half the time. Extreme has been a true
partner every step of the way."
Dan Dulac, Vice President of
Solutions, Extreme Networks
"Extreme strives to deliver
solutions that streamline the way IT teams interact with the
network. In our work with Utica
College, we were challenged to bring disparate
infrastructure elements together and create an integrated system
that could easily be monitored through a single pane of glass.
Utica College is a vibrant, active
community and we're proud that our software-driven solutions were
able to empower students and faculty to connect through reliable
Wi-Fi and innovative technology in and outside of the
classroom."
