A K-12 school system in eastern Pennsylvania had hired Plurilock to upgrade their core network infrastructure. They had chosen Juniper Networks to replace their aging Cisco solution, aiming to improve redundancy and throughput with 10Gb and 40Gb connections across their 9 school buildings and primary datacenter.
THE Challenge
Challenge
The K-12 school system needed to replace their Cisco network with Juniper Networks equipment, but lacked the expertise and primary IT person who managed the previous infrastructure. Limited network documentation added to the complexity. The deployment had to occur during maintenance windows with minimal downtime.
