Our Lady of Mercy College Parramatta
Extreme Networks supporting excellence at Our Lady of Mercy College
Our Lady of Mercy College’s network had evolved over time to include switches from three vendors and was running on a backbone of two separate fibre links. The updating of this ageing environment needed to address the inherent risk of failure.
Network redundancy was to be added so that, should a fault occur anywhere on the campus, an alternative path could be routed to keep services running. The project was to also leverage the financial and support benefits of standardising with equipment from a single vendor.
Our Lady of Mercy College (OLMC), Parramatta, is an independent Catholic day school for girls. Its strategic improvement plan, ‘Transforming Towards 2020’, provides a framework that furthers the College’s commitment to excellence in education.
The focus is on students’ learning experiences and wellbeing, as well as ensuring staff professional and personal competencies are continuously enhanced.
