Perfect Fit for IT: Optical LAN
Delivers IT Convergence and
Improved Performance
The IT team at the law firm of Miles & Stockbridge
faced common issues with their copper based LAN.
Power and port failures, and the need for card replacements slowed their network performance, putting a strain on their IT
team to efficiently make the adds, moves and changes. On top of that, implementing and supporting the firm’s new
technologies, devices and applications to improve workplace processes put even more pressure on network bandwidth.
When the law firm relocated, the IT team took the opportunity to build a new network. They knew from the start that Optical LAN
with its unlimited bandwidth was their best choice.Tony Svezzese, telecom manager and network engineer at
Miles & Stockbridge, discusses the benefits of deploying Tellabs’ Optical LAN in a new video. Highlights include:
· Centrally managed Optical LAN provided an efficient way to make adds, moves and changes, and quickly diagnose and solve
problems through a web interface from anywhere, anytime.
· Eliminating multiple wiring closets and unnecessary HVAC systems made IT’s job easier and more efficient, saving time and resources.
· Optical LAN enabled IT to converge multiple technologies onto one network. Even better, the firm can now serve multiple locations from one LAN.
· Optical LAN delivered seamless end-user experience. Employees did not experience disruptions with Optical LAN.
Overall, Optical LAN was a simpler and more scalable solution for the firm’s IT challenges.
