维罗纳学区, 位于新泽西州, 服务2300多名学生, and 350 staff and faculty across six campuses. The district is focused on empowering students to achieve their potential as active learners and productive citizens through rigorous curricula and personalised experiences.
The district’s strategic IT investments moved away from Cisco at its four elementary schools, one middle school and one high school to support their mission.
Challenges
When CTO Eltion Ballaj joined the school district in 2015, he discovered t在这里 was no Wi-Fi at the schools. A modern network for advanced learning - including Wi-Fi - was needed. Core to edge, upgrades were guided by a limited budget.
Verona schools explored vendor options beyond Cisco for better price and performance alternatives. Ballaj and team of three shifted to a new vendor with more local support to assure success. 从那时起, 维罗纳继续投资, including; deploying Chromebooks, creating remote access learning and building a top-notch secure LAN and Wi-Fi network that can be managed remotely.
Action
Working with Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise solutions changed everything for Verona. 作为一个有价值的供应商, ALE and its Sales Engineering team helped make the district’s technology transformation possible. ALE stepped in to support Verona’s IT staff, trained them and set them up for success with simplified management using the Alcatel-Lucent OmniVista 2500 网络管理 System, while delivering the cost and performance enhancements they were seeking. This year Verona Schools will deploy Alcatel-Lucent OmniAccess Stellar Wireless Access Points across the district as part of a Wi-Fi upgrade to deliver enhanced performance and greater security.
