Case Study: University of Minnesota strengthens network management and upgrade success with Entuity from Park Place Technologies

University of Minnesota upgrades 2,200 Cisco switches and cuts network management overhead with Park Place Technologies

The University of Minnesota, a prestigious public university, faced the challenge of managing and upgrading its outdated and complex network infrastructure to support its large, distributed community. The university's IT group needed a more effective and proactive network management solution to oversee this major upgrade. They selected Entuity from Park Place Technologies based on its high score in a detailed RFP process.

Park Place Technologies' Entuity solution provided integrated performance, fault, and inventory management in a single tool, minimizing the number of systems required. This allowed the university to proactively manage its new network, improve reliability, and understand the impact of changes. The implementation helped the University of Minnesota retire home-grown systems, prevent service problems, and more effectively support its educational and research goals.
