Case Study: L&T Shipbuilding Limited achieves optimized design and enhanced production efficiencies with Extreme Networks

L&T Shipbuilding opts for Extreme Networks to optimize design and enhance production efficiencies

L&T Shipbuilding Limited, a subsidiary of Larsen & Toubro that runs two modern shipyards and a marine design centre, faced growing demands from integrated CAE/CAD/PLM and ERP workflows that its one‑gigabit network could not reliably support or integrate with storage and servers. To optimize design throughput and production efficiency, L&T chose Extreme Networks to provide a high‑performance, resilient networking platform and a seamless migration path to 10 gigabit Ethernet.

Extreme Networks deployed a mix of Summit X650 and Summit X440 switches plus BlackDiamond 8800 chassis running ExtremeXOS to move L&T from 1 Gb to 10 Gb, enabling nonstop 24x7x365 3‑D design and ERP data flow. The implementation delivered tight server‑and‑storage integration, rock‑solid uptime, easier management, strong return on investment and a future‑proof path to cloud migration — outcomes L&T credits directly to Extreme Networks.
