Case Study: Global Consumer Packaging and Dispensing Company achieves easier network management and improved performance with SHI International Corp. and Cisco ACI

Global Consumer Packaging Leader Saves 30% on Cisco Networking Refresh

Global Consumer Packaging and Dispensing Company, a global leader in consumer packaging and dispensing systems, was experiencing network delays in its primary data center that were affecting manufacturing operations. Facing a needed core refresh of its Cisco data center switches and networking hardware, the company turned to SHI International Corp. for a more robust and cost-effective option.

SHI International Corp. recommended replacing the aging Nexus 5600 series infrastructure with Cisco Nexus 93180 and 93108 switches, along with Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI), Nexus 9K ACI Spines, and ACI Mentored Implementation Services. The new software-defined networking solution centralized management, reduced handoffs between teams, improved performance significantly, and delivered 30% savings compared with the originally proposed solution.
