Case Study: Oberlin College achieves scalable, high-performance campus networking with CentraComm and Juniper

CentraComm and Juniper Networks keep creativity flowing at Oberlin College

Oberlin College, a liberal arts college in Ohio, was experiencing network bottlenecks due to a dramatic increase in video traffic and the number of devices on its campus network. This hampered the educational use of digital media and the deployment of gigabit Wi-Fi. To support its students' needs while lowering operational costs, the college partnered with CentraComm to find a solution for a strategic network upgrade.

CentraComm designed, built, and now supports a new high-performance network for the college using Juniper Networks EX Series switches. The solution eliminated bottlenecks, provided scalable bandwidth for digital content and mobile devices, and greatly simplified network operations through features like Junos OS and Virtual Chassis technology. The result is a reliable, future-proof network that supports Oberlin's educational goals, with the college noting the immense value of CentraComm's reliable professional services throughout the transition.
