Jarrow School improves bandwidth with Powerful Network Switches
Modern teaching and learning is a priority at Jarrow School with staff and students heavily dependent on the network for access.
Access to the virtual learning environment for students and staff was being hindered by bandwidth limitations and with no firmware updates, network security was becoming an issue with the legacy network.
Jarrow needed to make a change so reached out to Redway Networks to design and install a future-proofed network that would provide high-performance from edge to core.
Next-gen Switches Secure the Network Edge
Jarrow school reached out to Redway Networks to design a future-proofed network solution that would improve bandwidth and provide high-performance at the network edge.
Following a new network design topology, Redway Networks recommended Aruba core and edge switches to provide a resilient cloud-managed network suitable for the adoption of future technology.
To reduce any downtime, Redway's engineer carried out a remote audit of the school's existing infrastructure and preconfigured the Aruba switches before they were delivered to site.

Next-gen Switches an Investment for the Future
Redway Networks installed the Aruba switches using backplane stacking and multiple bonded 10Gbps high-speed links from network edge to core. The switches were ready to rack which ensured a seamless project and handover to the school's IT team.
The switches can be managed remotely through the cloud-based Aruba dashboard meaning switch configurations and management is easy.
Since installing the Aruba switches, Jarrow School has seen a substantial 500 % increase in bandwidth and the IT team is saving considerable time deploying applications and new devices.
