Why Aligrup S.p.A. Selected Allied Telesis
The multi-layer switches from the Allied Telesis 9900 series
immediately proved to be ideal for supporting such a flexible
architecture. All the features that make it stand out, from its
Quality of Service (QoS) and high-density Gigabit Ethernet
ports to its non-blocking architecture and redundant power
supply units, provide a competitive advantage.
In addition, integrated support for IPv6 ensures that the
system will scale to increased use, protecting their technology
investment.
The 9900 series is particularly flexible because it can host
different types of SFP interfaces on the same platform. It
caters to any combination of copper and short-haul or long-
haul fiber links, which was required to overcome cabling
distance limitations in their large new building.
With the possibility of using traffic meters via the SNMP
management platform, Aligrup S.p.A. also has the option to
connect to billing tools in the future.These tools would be
able to charge their turnkey contract customers based on the
usage of the network services.
Aligrup S.p.A. decided to invest in the future by expanding
and improving their IT network.They chose to involve Allied
Telesis, an expert partner.
"Aligrup S.p.A. is extremely happy with the quality and
performance of the Allied Telesis equipment,"
confirmed Daniele Schilirò, who is responsible for
networking and new technologies at Aligrup S.p.A.
"We've especially appreciated the technical support provided
by Allied Telesis, whether directly or indirectly, throughout the
whole process of designing, deploying and supporting the
network," concluded Schilirò, who has closely monitored
every phase spanning the project's design, integration and
execution.

Key Decision Factors
Aligrup S.p.A. chose a technical solution from Allied Telesis for
many reasons; however, they had four primary ones. Reliability,
scalability, security and support.
Reliability:
The redundancy protocols, bandwidth
management options and power supply units' redundancy
make the network resilient.This helps the network services to
achieve maximum reliability and uptime of critical services,
required not only for operational functionality of Aligrup
S.p.A., but also for it's turnkey contract customers.
Instead of taking up extra space in the cabinet, the redundant
power supply unit is integrated into the switch.This compact
design does not compromise performance, since the
enhanced horizontal cooling system makes it possible to
withstand high temperatures.
The high performance level and extended QoS and
management functions help give precise network control.
Scalability:
The cutting-edge switching technology supports
connections ranging from 10Mbps to 10 Gigabit Ethernet.The
modular design of the core machines (AT-9924Ts,
AT-9924SP), along with the wide selection of uplinks for the
switches designed for distribution (AT-9748TS/XP and
AT-8648T/2SP) provide even greater scalability for future
needs.
Security:
The management security options (SSH and SSL),
authentication protocols, hardware filters and switch port
control cover every aspect of network security. In addition,
the advanced VLAN functionality will ensure complete
separation of the different companies networks, while allowing
Aligrup S.p.A. to easily manage and maintain the network
infrastructure.
Support:
Aligrup S.p.A. valued the technical support they
received from Allied Telesis. Net.Cover
service and support program designed to protect vital
network systems from unscheduled downtime.This
comprehensive service includes phone support, priority
queuing, and next day product replacement.
