 Case Study: Hamilton Park Hotel and Conference Center

Full version
 

Industry: Hospitality

Challenges:
  • Group meetings involve 80% of the audience requiring connectivity for business activities
  • Most groups provide information technology training
  • Management of T1 circuits provided by customers proved complex and costly, combined with the site’s own circuits
  • BGP proved too complex for existing needs
  • Bandwidth needs are always increasing based on new technologies used by guests

Solution:

  • The Elfiq Link LB-2000 provides the throughput and flexibility required by the Hamilton Park Hotel & Conference Center, with the ability to use up to 32 links
  • Bandwidth increases with additional T1 circuits managed by the Elfiq unit
  • Elfiq’s professional services were retained to ensure rapid and efficient deployment

Benefits:

  • Existing and additional circuits are configured and managed in minutes
  • Personalized customer circuit installation requests are met very rapidly
  • The simplicity of the Elfiq unit eliminated the BGP-based approach
  • Bandwidth needs for guests are met and exceeded
 « The Elfiq Link Load Balancer was exactly what I was looking for. It met all my needs and has performed better and easier than advertised. I can’t give this unit enough praise.”
