The school:

Independent, co-educational school for Years 7-12 with 1,200+ students and 150+ staff members. Located in Five Dock, an Inner West suburb of Sydney.

The challenges:

The existing network was outdated and couldn’t handle the growing demand for bandwidth, leading to higher loads and overhead on the wireless infrastructure. It also lacked centralised device management needed to help bring digital learning into classrooms and support the indoor and outdoor spaces on-campus.

Benefits of working with Cisco Meraki:

  • Site-to-site VPN feature has led to significant efficiencies
  • Centralised device management platform offers deep visibility into all student devices
  • Controller-free network management dashboard allows the IT team to be more hands-on than ever
  • The school network can be easily managed from anywhere in the world

“It’s easier to manage so we’re not bogged down by the typical network setup and needing to train everyone on every vendor. Meraki opens up the way for us to have a standard network and to have just one person manage the network.” - Saif Samaan, Information and Communications Technology Manager
