Cloud-managed services give the popular tourist
destination a state-of-the-art network infrastructure that scales
for growing demands
ADTRAN®, Inc., (NASDAQ:ADTN), a leading provider of
next-generation open networking solutions, today announced the City
of Tybee Island, Ga., is utilizing ADTRAN’s ProCloud Subscription
Services that bundle enterprise network infrastructure and
cloud-managed services as a simple monthly expense. As a barrier
island off the coast of Savannah, Georgia, the city has become a
tourist destination with upwards of 50,000 visitors descending upon
the community every weekend. Working with ADTRAN’s managed service
provider partner Speros, the City of Tybee Island rents its network
as a service, offloading switch management and day-to-day network
maintenance activities while enabling the city’s IT department to
affordably keep up with data-rich demands on the network.
“Our island has quickly grown into a very popular tourist
destination, and we need the network backbone necessary to support
thousands of users on a daily basis. As a small IT department, we
required a complete infrastructure and managed service that could
help offload the management of our switches, while also providing a
cost-effective solution to meet the needs for everyone on the
island,” said Todd Smith, information technology director for the
City of Tybee Island. “An ADTRAN network as a service offers us a
really powerful infrastructure and arms us with the capacity we’ll
need to grow for the future, all without the headache of
traditional capital expenditures. And by working with Speros, we
can operate like a large IT department without having to add any
more staff, while remaining confident in our ability to keep up
with the network demands of tourists, city officials and vital
public safety services.”
Whether it is high network traffic demand during the peak
tourism season or a natural disaster, the City of Tybee Island
needed a service that could be accessed anywhere in the case of an
emergency. ADTRAN’s ProCloud Subscription Services provides the
platform for Speros to manage and maintain all of the city’s
installed switches, creating a holistic view of the network and
alleviating pressure on the city’s IT department. Additionally, the
city’s network will be able to support more mobile devices from
tourists and the vital applications for local police and EMS units
that are critical to the city government’s infrastructure,
including IP cameras, traffic monitoring systems and license plate
readers. By empowering the City of Tybee Island with constant
connectivity throughout the island, ADTRAN has ensured the city’s
ability to respond to any situation that may arise.
“ADTRAN is committed to supporting the day-to-day requirements
for a robust network, as well as providing vital room for growth.
ProCloud Subscription Services, delivered through MSP partners such
as Speros, gives customers the ability to scale their network for
any scenario, while providing enterprises a cost-effective monthly
rental model to fit their budgets,” said Meggin Sawyer, VP,
business solutions and cloud services, ADTRAN. “No matter the
demand on the network, the City of Tybee Island is able to
guarantee connectivity throughout the island for all users, and
ADTRAN and our partner Speros will continue to ensure the city has
the proper support for any occasion.”
