LAN – Next Generation LAN solutions

With the emerging Internet of Things (IoT) and the number of connected devices forecast to reach 50 billion by 2020, users expect and require IT to be responsive in meeting the access needs anytime, anywhere paradigm. This, along with other factors, increases the importance of the LAN infrastructure and makes it a critical business component.

The LAN has to handle the demands of the modern connected enterprise:

• Cloud computing and SaaS are bringing new capabilities, more efficiency, and cost savings to the enterprise

• More critical enterprise applications such as voice and video are running over IP

Automated network solutions by Extreme Networks keep Brussels metro on track

Operated by the Brussels Intercommunal Transport Company (or STIB), Brussels’ metro is a rapid transit system serving a large part of the Brussels- Capital region of Belgium. STIB runs over 850,000 metro, tram, and bus journeys every day for commuters, visitors and the 1.14 million residents of the Belgian capital.
The Brussels’ metro system faces some unique challenges as it pertains to their current and future business goals. The organization is nearly a 24x7x365 operation, meaning the environment and its connected systems cannot afford a disruption or drop in service. The number of passengers using public transportation in Brussels is growing exponentially with year-over-year demographic growth. As a result, during peak periods the system has hit the ceiling in terms of what manually controlled operations can achieve. The Brussels’ metro systems required a solution that would leverage automation to maximise the efficiency of its current and future capacity.

A mission-critical network solution

After evaluating their short-term and long-term goals, STIB concluded that an update to their IT network solution would meet the critical needs today, and by utilizing network-powered automation effectively, Brussels’ metro would see an estimated increase in capacity of 33%.  As such, STIB issued a formal RFP to collect and review potential options. The proposed network solution, labelled by STIB as the “Mission Critical Network,” had to allow for real-time automated control of metro traffic.
