Case Study: GeniSys Global achieves scalable, cost‑efficient hosted Lync infrastructure with Brocade

GeniSys Global Scales Its Hosted Lync Infrastructure with Brocade

GeniSys Global, a Microsoft Hosting Partner that provides hosted Unified Communications and enterprise voice (Microsoft Lync) services, faced rapid growth and surging customer bandwidth needs—sometimes over 50%—while its aging Cisco and SonicWall infrastructure and 1 GbE design could not scale or meet availability and management requirements.

GeniSys implemented a Brocade Lync‑certified solution built on Brocade VCS Fabric technology with VDX switches, Virtual ADX, Vyatta firewall and Brocade Network Subscription, consolidating to a 10 GbE, self‑configuring fabric. The new architecture simplified management, cut operating and capital costs with pay‑as‑you‑go flexibility, increased capacity and customer responsiveness, and delivered higher availability through redundant, on‑demand scaling.
