Case Study: Materialise improves network efficiency and reliability with Allied Telesis

Materialise scales to 2,500+ employees with Allied Telesis

Materialise, a global leader in 3D printing headquartered in Belgium, faced network management challenges due to an infrastructure built with products from multiple vendors. Their expanding operations, which grew to over 2,500 employees and 25 offices worldwide, required a high-availability, secure, and unified network to connect their headquarters' four premises and global 3D printers. They turned to their long-time partner, Allied Telesis, for a solution built on their x950 Series switches and the AlliedWare Plus operating system.

Allied Telesis implemented a resilient network core using x950 switches with Virtual Chassis Stacking (VCStack) and fiber interconnects, eliminating single points of failure. The solution included nearly 280 Allied Telesis switches worldwide, providing a uniform, easily managed infrastructure that interoperates seamlessly with existing security equipment. The result is a highly reliable network that supports streamlined global operations. Materialise reported rarely having network problems and praised the simplified management and excellent support, solidifying their successful long-term partnership with Allied Telesis.
