For Immediate Release: 30-June-2010Online custom gift retailer Personalization Mall (PM) selected TSG in partnership with Extreme Networks to enhance its data center and converged LAN. In order to keep up with growing demands on its popular ecommerce website, PersonalizationMall.com, PM needed to boost its speed, fortify its infrastructure for reliability and standardize on a uniform LAN and data center solution. With an eye to its reputation for performance and availability, PM wanted to choose a network leader, a business partner with cutting-edge solutions and an innovative approach. They narrowed their options down to Cisco and Extreme Networks, represented by TSG.
“Cisco originally came in because that’s what we had deployed across the infrastructure, and they were pushing for us to unify across their solution,” said Stephen Diggory, IT Manager for PM. But in the end, Extreme Networks was chosen for its progressive and innovative solutions, its distinct price advantage and cutting edge performance, highlighted by the new Summit® X650 switch, the market’s earliest Top of Rack 10 Gigabit copper switch. “What we liked most about Extreme Networks was its progressive approach to technology and price for performance and the fact that its philosophy is to stay on the bleeding edge,” said Diggory. “Our partner, TSG, also proved to be invaluable to the process and worked closely with us throughout the selection process and during the deployment.”
TSG worked with PM to ensure the proper network design, timely solution delivery and ongoing support of the entire solution. The network upgrade meets the organization’s goals of selecting leading-edge technology, supporting unified systems, and remaining highly reliable with bandwidth capacity to spare.
“Our network is critical to the customer experience as well as revenue, and we were not willing to take chances with marginal performance or inconsistent features,” said Diggory. “The high performance solutions and innovative approach of Extreme Networks were in line with our goals, and the new infrastructure enables us to remain at the bleeding edge of performance and provides us with the best value.”
