Case Study: Manufacturing
Assist in bringing the network for the entire building up to standard. Issues:- The VoIP phone system ran over the existing cable Internet solution, which didn’t work well due to internet connectivity issues.
- Information on the existing systems was missing because of staged installations over the many years.
- The previous networked system was poorly installed, and did not include such IT basics as structured cabling techniques, redundancy, and offloading.
- Small desktop switches were unmanaged and untraceable.
- Servers crashed every two to three hours daily. No failover or redundancy.
- Servers did not have enough resources to perform tasks.
- Frequent network drops for machines
- Slow file transfers due to the network connection of a single CAT6 cable
- The size and scope of the building created issues as well; 30′ ceilings in a warehouse and concrete walls.
Solution:
The solution we devised involved a rip-and-replace mentality. Because the legacy network was poorly designed, with copper runs hopping from small switches to small switches up to 500′, the first thing to do was to replace those longer runs with Multimode fibre runs and place small cabinets more local to each area.
Action taken:
In total, five fibre runs were installed in five areas of the building. Their locations were strategic so each copper run from them would be less than 300′. Each cabinet was given a battery backup, a switch (connected via fibre to the core), and a patch panel.
Once these were complete, we focused on the core network by introducing two Aggregate Switches with 10Gb interfaces to handle storage, server, and distribution switch connectivity. They were wired in a failover setup so that if one failed, the other would take over without skipping a ping.
The distribution switches were next. With the new managed switches installed, each was connected back to the aggregate switches with 10Gb direct-attach cabling.
For the root of the entire system, we introduced a Storage Area Network (SAN) Appliance with Dual Controllers and 10Gb interfaces. These interfaces connected to the Aggregate switches with Fibre cables and were placed on their own VLAN that only the servers could speak to.
Once this was set up, the servers were upgraded and reimaged with VMWare, and then a cluster was created to allow for the failover of the Virtual Servers. All data was moved from the servers to the SAN, and the servers were then set to use for processing power.
Finally, the cable internet solution was torn out and replaced with Fibre Optic Internet.

Results:
In the past two years since this installation, the servers have not crashed, file transfers are virtually instantaneous, phones work without dropped calls, and IT is no longer the daily headache it once was.
