Extreme Networks & Scalable Communications Provide Charles Russell With Future Proofed Network


Extreme Networks and its Platinum Partner Scalable Communications have today announced that international law firm Charles Russell is using a selection of its BlackDiamond® and Summit® family switches to develop a flexible and resilient network infrastructure with the foundation to support future developments.

Charles Russell, a top 50-full service firm, is dedicated to developing business relationships and works with clients ranging from international organisations and FTSE and AIM listed businesses to private companies, governments, not-for-profit organisations and private individuals. Following its move to new offices in Fleet Place, Charles Russell required a new network that would offer the reliability and resiliency necessary to provide interoperability with 21st century networking solutions such as IP-Telephony. Charles Russell also needed a robust wireless infrastructure to support and seamlessly integrate both corporate employees and visitors to access the network.


“We were required to set up the new network in a very short timescale and there was no room for error,” said Charles Russell Director of IT Lee Hanley. “Our primary concern was to have a secure, resilient network that was fully compatible with all the applications and technologies we required to run alongside it.”
