Landsec - OryxAlign

The background

Landsec was in search of a technology partner that not only had the experience to deal with extensive and critical Cisco network infrastructure, but was also at the forefront of delivering advanced, predictive, and automated managed technology services. There was an urgent requirement to deliver a full life-cycle analysis and refresh of the infrastructure installed across the portfolio sites.
The case study that we would like to nominate is the life-cycle analysis and refresh project we delivered to Landsec as part of our managed service engagement. The project was completed in early 2019.

The challenge

OryxAlign conducted an infrastructure audit & risk assessment using our Solarwinds infrastructure management platform across 14 of the portfolio sites. The purpose was to gather in-depth information and analysis of the usage of the network infrastructure at each location. A vital part of the project was to understand the volume of data throughput across the core switching and network infrastructure.

The project resulted in the replacement and refresh of 353 network devices. This new infrastructure enhanced the resilience and performance of the critical building applications, CCTV, access control and security. Importantly, it also addressed the requirement for improving the level of cyber-security across the network infrastructure.

The outcome

The new infrastructure delivered an immediate and substantive step change in operational performance, cyber protection and resilience. Furthermore, it represented a cost saving to Landsec of £250,000 due to an improved infrastructure design leveraging the latest Cisco technologies.
