Upgrading the network at Highlands College

Highlands College found itself operating on ageing infrastructure that was fast approaching end-of-life. If left unsupported, the legacy network would pose a risk to the College's everyday operations.

Logicalis partnered with Highlands College to completely transform their
network. Built on Extreme Fabric technology, the solution included:

  • Extreme Fabric switches for high-speed, resilient connectivity.
  • Extreme IQ Site Engine for unified management and monitoring.
  • Hybrid management combining on-premises control with cloud-based
    capabilities through Extreme Cloud IQ.
  • Extreme Analytics for deep network and application visibility.

The collaboration with Logicalis has delivered immediate and lasting benefits for the College, contributing to its ability to meet and exceed modern standards, offering:

  • Seamless transition
  • Improved user experience
  • Operational efficiency
  • Security and resilience

Modernising our network was critical to ensuring a reliable digital experience for both students and staff. Working with Logicalis, we've transformed an ageing and increasingly fragile infrastructure into a resilient, intelligent network that gives our IT team real visibility and control. The new solution has significantly reduced disruption, improved performance across campus, and allows us to adapt and scale without complexity. Most importantly, it enables us to focus on what matters most — supporting learning and student success.
