India's Top Technical Institute

Business Challenge

A premier institution in India was facing operational and security challenges due to its reliance on the outdated Cisco Catalyst 6807-XL core switch, which was nearing end-of-life. Aging hardware caused network instability, slow data transmission, and troubleshooting difficulties, while outdated firmware lacked modern threat detection and compliance features. Additionally, the legacy switch struggled to meet growing bandwidth demands from research and academic applications. To address these issues, the institution required a phased migration strategy to modernize its network infrastructure, ensuring scalability, security, and reliability for uninterrupted operations.
Technology Utilized
    Cisco Catalyst 9606R
    Advanced Redundancy and Reliability: Features dual supervisor engines with Stateful Switchover (SSO), field-replaceable components, and platinum-rated power supplies for uninterrupted operations.


Transformation

The client engaged ROX Hi-Tech to execute a network infrastructure upgrade from the Cisco Catalyst 6807-XL to the Cisco Catalyst 9606R (C9600X-SUP-2 + C9600- C-48YL), significantly improving performance, scalability, and reliability. ROX Hi-Tech deployed the new systemin parallel with the existing setup to minimize downtime, starting with core link modifications and gradually migrating critical services. By implementing dual supervisors with Stateful Switchover (SSO), Virtual Switching System (VSS) for failover, and Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) for link optimisation, ROX Hi-Tech ensured redundancy and uninterrupted operations. The upgraded infrastructure now supports bandwidths of up to 100G and IPv6 compatibility, delivering a robust and future-ready network.

The Results

  • Improved Routing Efficiency
  • Enhanced Traffic Isolation
  • Reduced Latency
  • Enhanced Network Visibility
