Summary
Pate Dawson Company initially contracted JCMR Technology to upgrade circuits, establish site-to-site failover VPN services between locations, assist with implementing networking best practices, and create the network infrastructure in a new distribution center. Since those initial projects, Pate Dawson Company and JCMR Technology have collaborated to create a DMZ environment, improve network security, establish a VoIP infrastructure, and address routine configuration and troubleshooting.
Challenges: Network Dependency and Stability
Pate Dawson Company’s critical applications were susceptible to network outages that affected order processing, product shipments and revenue. Pate Dawson Company’s overall goal was to improve delivery services and reduce transportation costs without relying on a telecom service provider’s Service-Level Agreement (SLA) and response time. Generally speaking, Pate Dawson Company desired improved independence, stability, and resiliency in its multi-site Wide-Area Network (WAN).
Solution: Improved Network Infrastructure
JCMR Technology assisted Pate Dawson Company with the design and implementation of a network infrastructure that operates across multiple telecom service providers. This approach provided a better solution and a cost savings over the legacy configuration. The new resilient and secure network infrastructure allows Pate Dawson Company to be more confident and responsive in service delivery, while reducing operational costs.
JCMR Technology’s team introduced the Aerohive wireless solution, which was installed in Pate Dawson Company’s newest distribution center in Statesville, NC. The Aerohive products provided a robust, easily managed wireless network that improved connectivity and provided huge cost savings compared to other alternatives.
