Avaya Extends the Automated Campus to End the Network Waiting Game - Seite 2

Avaya has deployed Fabric Connect in many of its largest customers -- including the Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics -- and is the backbone for its third InteropNet. For last year's InteropNet, the Avaya Fabric Connect network required only 1/10 the resources of prior years. Tours of the Network Operations Center are available to participants at Interop 2014.

Avaya will be demonstrating these and other award winning capabilities at Booth 2151 at Interop Las Vegas.

Quotes:
"Previously we needed six weeks for network changes; today we can implement them in days."
-Albert Knoll, Network Operations Manager, Fujitsu Technology Solutions on their recent, flawless implementation of Avaya Fabric Connect

"We find that IT departments go to impressive measures to mitigate risk. The 'maintenance window' model of the '80s is methodical and precise. We have no issue with the process, but what we have done is remove the reason for the model." 
-Marc Randall, SVP and General Manager, Avaya Networking

"With many wireless infrastructure solutions, the actual applications that users are running over the network are invisible to IT. However, this information is critical to profiling and managing network usage. Avaya WLAN 9100 allows IT administrators to apply application-specific policies to manage network performance and security. The end result is a high quality user experience." 
-Alan Hase, Vice President, Unified Access and Identity Solutions
