Case Study: Grafton Group achieves a future-proof, reliable network with Six Degrees Managed Network Solution

Its operations with a Six Degrees Managed Network Solution

Grafton Group plc, a large UK building materials group with over 500 locations, faced the challenge of modernizing its complex and outdated network infrastructure. This upgrade was essential to support its strategic IT investment program, which included replacing legacy systems and required high levels of bandwidth and resilience. To address this, Grafton Group turned to vendor Six Degrees for a Managed Network Solution.

Six Degrees implemented a comprehensive solution featuring a Core MPLS Network, Managed Internet Access, and a new Branch network to connect all of the customer's UK locations. Following the successful rollout, the vendor now manages the service to ensure it is reliable and secure. The outcome is a future-proofed network that supports continuous growth, with Grafton Group reporting no fear of overloading systems or experiencing unwelcome downtime thanks to the Six Degrees infrastructure.
