**Our Client Success**

Cisilion worked with one of the world’s largest globally diversified natural resource companies, to upgrade two primary data centres due to aging hardware reaching end of support.

As part of this process, a technology refresh was required to ensure their datacenter architecture represents a fast, resilient and scalable network. Cisilion deployed a Cisco network based a Catalyst 9500 Campus core/distribution and Catalyst 9400 chassis access switches. This resulted in:

- Resilient network infrastructure including uplinks, and power supplies
- Network Device Administration
- Infrastructure efficiency, agility and consolidation
