Dimension Data modernizes “Smart Campus” of professional services firm in Hyderabad

Dimension Data has entered into strategic partnership with a leading global professional services firm to modernize its IT infrastructure for their new Smart Campus in Hyderabad. The smart campus will be IoT-enabled with smart lighting and smart parking. Dimension Data has upgraded the firm’s IT infrastructure with Software-Defined Access (SD-access), which enables automated end-to-end segmentation to separate user, device and application without redesigning the network.

Through Software-Defined Access, Dimension Data has enabled the firm to have seamless user mobility within the campus and between campuses. SD-access allows creating policy compliance to create an agile IT infrastructure to support faster launch of business services, and consistency to a large disparate network, improving resolution times. The upgraded system also provides higher Power over Ethernet (PoE) to enable smart sensors.

“There was a pressing need for the firm to move away from traditional network architecture that demanded higher manual intervention and does not support automation. Dimension Data’s implementation of SD-Access has ensured the seamless convergence of people, technology and workplace to improve agility, productivity and engagement for the firm. The solution will provide a secure and seamless mobile experience to the user, thereby increasing productivity and flexibility, the core of a Digital Workplace,” said K.N. Murali, Solutions Head, Dimension Data India.
