Challenge

Improving network connectivity, functionality, and management can be a difficult chore. The complexity increases significantly when your network needs to spread across 110 miles and numerous islands. Ken St. James, IS Department Program Specialist for the Monroe County School District, was presented with the challenge.

Solution

Stretching from Key Largo to Key West in Southern Florida, the Monroe County School District deployed a new network infrastructure based on the HP ProCurve Adaptive EDGE Architecture™. After a quick and painless deployment, the district has realized vastly improved network performance, management, and functionality, enhanced connectivity and collaboration, with a significant cost savings.

“Monroe County School District's incorporation of a leading-edge technology vision is a big part of our students' education, and HP has played a vital role in our pursuit of that vision. ProCurve Networking by HP has been instrumental in helping us: ease network deployment and management, keep our costs down, and most importantly, accelerate our students' learning through technology."

–      Randy Acevedo, Superintendent of Schools, Monroe County Public Schools
