Case Study: Federal Statistical Agency achieves fast, efficient national data analysis with Extreme Networks OneFabric Data Center

OneFabric Data Center for Fast and Efficient National Data Analysis

The Federal Statistical Agency needed a highly available, high-performance data center to handle millions of annual queries and pieces of statistical data while providing advanced analytics, full visibility into usage, seamless scalability and 24/7 access without service degradation. To meet these requirements the agency turned to Extreme Networks and its OneFabric Data Center solution, using Extreme Networks S-, 7100-, K-, B- and C-Series switches along with IdentiFi Wireless and the OneFabric Control Center/Data Center Manager.

Extreme Networks implemented a purpose-built OneFabric Data Center architecture — including 7100-series top-of-rack and S-Series CoreFlow2 switches, centralized OneFabric Control Center with DCM and OneFabric Connect SDN — to unify management, automate configuration and deliver end-to-end visibility. The deployment measurably reduced capital and operational costs by maximizing resource utilization and enabling future 100G upgrades, increased virtualization and automation that cut IT staff hours, and helped the agency achieve a 94% satisfaction rate for online user inquiries.
