Staging!

Preparing switches for installation at a customer’s site involves configuring them to meet specific requirements and conducting thorough testing in a controlled environment. This ensures optimal performance and minimizes potential issues during deployment, resulting in a smoother and more efficient network installation process.

XG to XGS Upgrade!

Our customer achieved a significant speed boost by upgrading the Sophos XG450 firewall to redundant XGS5500s with high availability. This upgrade involved migrating legacy 1Gb connections to dual 40Gbps links and updating the firmware from v18 to v19.5MR2.

If you’re still using a Sophos XG firewall, it’s important to note that the hardware end of life is approaching rapidly in March 2025. Now is the ideal time to leverage Communications Consulting Inc for your Sophos security upgrades. As the only Platinum Certified Sophos Partners in Western Pennsylvania, we offer unparalleled expertise and support.

VxRail Migration

We recently upgraded our client’s IT infrastructure by installing the Dell Technologies VXRail E660F.

We upgraded the network connectivity, increased processing power, and ensured minimal disruption to their operations. Our expertise in Dell, Alcatel-Lucent, and Sophos solutions further strengthened our ability to deliver comprehensive IT solutions.

Upgrades!

Successfully completed a comprehensive customer upgrade, transitioning them from an antiquated 4510R+E system to the advanced Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise OS6900-C32E and OS6860NP48M models. This upgrade included the implementation of dual 40Gbps uplinks to facilitate seamless connectivity with remote buildings, while ensuring uninterrupted operations and minimizing downtime. Additionally, the integration of a high-speed 100Gbps backplane greatly enhanced the network’s capacity and performance. Despite the challenges posed by limited rack space, we efficiently executed the upgrade, delivering optimal solutions tailored to the customer’s needs.

Project Update

Exciting news! We recently completed an upgrade project at a K-12 school to enhance their network and wireless capabilities. As part of the project, we installed cutting-edge Alcatel-Lucent switches, cleaned up their network closets, added reliable Eaton battery backups, and implemented new cable drops where needed.

By replacing their switches with Alcatel-Lucent models, we significantly improved their network performance, security, and management capabilities. These advanced switches ensure faster and more efficient data transfer, enabling seamless connectivity for students, teachers, and staff.

With these upgrades, the school now has a robust and future-ready network infrastructure. It sets the stage for enhanced digital learning experiences and supports the school’s technological advancements.
