Case Study: CEDAE (Rio de Janeiro state water and sewage company) achieves 50% IT productivity increase and zero downtime with Extreme Networks

CEDAE increases IT productivity by 50% after implementing Extreme Networks network infrastructure

CEDAE (Companhia Estadual de Águas e Esgotos do Rio de Janeiro) struggled with a poor, multi‑vendor network that frequently failed, causing delays and user discomfort across its consolidated headquarters supporting about 3,000 internal users and 1.3 million customers. To address the need for a faster, more reliable network, CEDAE engaged Extreme Networks, deploying ExtremeSwitching core switches and ExtremeManagement (NetSight) network management tools.

Extreme Networks designed a data‑center network with roughly ten times the previous capacity, removed hubs, and implemented secure point‑to‑point communications and centralized management. The solution eliminated interruptions and downtime, streamlined processes, reduced bureaucracy, sped customer service, increased internal user satisfaction, and delivered a measured 50% increase in IT productivity.
