Case Study: Champlain College achieves 10X bandwidth increase and lower TCO with Juniper Networks

Juniper’s High-Performance Network Graduates with High Honors at Champlain College

Champlain College, a 125‑year institution with about 2,000 students and technology‑intensive programs in game design, multimedia and digital film, needed to refresh its campus network to support exploding rich‑media demands, growing residential enrollment, and a 10‑year strategic plan. The college required a high‑performance, secure, flexible and standards‑based solution to handle large file sizes, mobile devices, online courses and regulatory compliance.

Champlain implemented an end‑to‑end Juniper infrastructure—EX switches, MX routers, SRX firewalls, SA SSL VPN appliances and Secure Analytics—collapsing network tiers to simplify design and boost performance. The deployment delivered a 10× increase in bandwidth, reduced total cost of ownership, improved security and compliance (including E911 and remote access), and provided a scalable, standards‑based platform for future growth.
