University of Westminster was founded in 1838 as Britain’s first polytechnic. Employing 1,500 staff and catering for 22,000 students, it is now one of the UK’s top centres for overseas study with 5,000 foreign students coming from over 150 countries.
Westminster has a number of sites around the London area, each with their own core and edge network infrastructure providing connections within each site. Each site is connected to the others with a meshed network topology. Catering for 5,700 desktop PCs, this involves more than 400 active network devices and 15,000 fixed data outlets.
“The decision to opt for ProCurve solutions provided by ADA has presented the University of Westminster with the best possible opportunity to deliver a service which will not only fulfil all of the technical requirements, but will also significantly influence TCO and ROI in the longer term.”
