Live Event Network
Our client for this project tasked us with the procurement,
provisioning, deployment and management of a LAN/WAN supporting a
3-day live athletic competition. In addition to general traffic, the
network carried real-time competition data to/from the cloud so uptime
and prioritization/traffic management were of paramount importance.
Highlights:
- 4 VLANs
- 802.1p CoS, 3 priorities
- High-availability, managed Unify WiFi with multiple VLANs
- WAN bandwidth allocation, 3 priorities
- Router/Firewall: auto-failover, wire-speed anti-virus, anti-spyware, and IPS
- 24-port headend managed switch, 10 x 10-port remote managed switches
- PoE power distribution, UPS backup
- 50 managed devices, 25+ unmanaged devices
- 300 Mbps dedicated WAN, 1 Gbps switched LAN
The network performed flawlessly - over 10K competition "events"
with 100% uptime and 0% loss.
