Case Study: Nagahama City reduces network costs and complexity with Allied Telesis AMF

Nagahama City Strengthens Network Security and Lowers Costs

Nagahama City Hall in Japan needed to cut ICT costs, simplify network operations, and maintain strong security as it merged multiple municipalities and planned to converge its information and VoIP systems onto one network. To support a new city hall building and future ICT-based services, Nagahama City selected Allied Telesis, using an AMF-capable network built around a SwitchBlade x8100 Series core switch and x510 Series edge switches.

Allied Telesis designed a resilient VLAN-based converged LAN that replaced three separate networks with one centrally managed infrastructure. AMF automated configuration, backup, provisioning, recovery, and expansion, reducing management workload and helping the city target about a 30% cost reduction by lowering Capex and Opex. The new network also improved reliability and reduced downtime, while supporting smoother city council meeting video streams and enabling faster restoration through spare switch auto-recovery.
