Case Study: Farrer & Co. achieves a secure, scalable network and simplified management with Extreme Networks

Farrer & Co. Deploys New Secure Network Fit for a Queen

Farrer & Co., a prestigious London law firm of 450 staff handling highly sensitive client matters, needed a modern, highly available and secure network to support IT modernization and protect case data. The firm engaged Extreme Networks (with partner Datrix) to replace its Cisco/Meraki infrastructure, deploying Extreme Networks’ portfolio including ExtremeSwitching, ExtremeWireless, ExtremeManagement (Extreme Management Centre), ExtremeControl and ExtremeAnalytics.

Extreme Networks delivered an end-to-end wired and wireless solution—including X670‑G2 core and X450‑G2 edge switches and unified management—that provides single‑pane‑of‑glass visibility, port‑level security, granular control and performance analytics. The rollout improved reliability and scalability for 450 users, freed IT staff to focus on other projects through simplified management, strengthened security and better supported IP telephony, enterprise mobility and unified communications, giving Farrer & Co. a secure, modern platform for ongoing digitalization.
