Simpli-Fi delivered the office network fit-out for Superstruct Entertainment’s new London workspace, combining RUCKUS WiFi and network switches with a Fortinet network security solution and ongoing managed support.
Project Overview
When Superstruct Entertainment opened its new London office, it appointed Simpli-Fi to deliver the network infrastructure and managed connectivity needed to support the workspace.
Simpli-Fi brought together the network fit-out, RUCKUS WiFi and switching, and a Fortinet network security solution to create an integrated platform for day-to-day operations.
With Superstruct also considering a rollout across other offices, the project provides a starting point for a more consistent approach to connectivity across the business.
The Challenge
Opening a new office means creating a working environment where connectivity is ready to support people, devices and business systems from the outset.
For Superstruct, the requirement was to bring wired networking, WiFi and network security together within one coordinated solution, backed by ongoing support.
The approach also needed to consider the wider business: how the technology and service model established at the new office could be adapted for additional locations.
The Solution
Simpli-Fi delivered the office network fit-out, combining complementary technologies within one managed solution.
RUCKUS WiFi and switching
The RUCKUS wireless network and switches formed the foundation of the office’s wired and wireless connectivity, supporting access across the workspace.
Fortinet network security
The Fortinet solution complemented the RUCKUS infrastructure, providing the network security.
Ongoing managed service
Simpli-Fi’s involvement extends beyond installation through an ongoing managed service, providing support for the network as the office’s requirements evolve.
Bringing delivery and ongoing management together gives Superstruct a connectivity partner with an understanding of the infrastructure installed and the environment it supports.
A Foundation for Other Offices
Superstruct is looking at extending the approach to other offices, with the locations and scope of any future rollout still to be agreed.
The London project provides a reference point for those discussions: a combination of RUCKUS WiFi and switching, Fortinet technology and managed connectivity that can be adapted to each office’s requirements.
A consistent approach could help simplify future deployments and ongoing support, while allowing for differences in office size, layout and local needs.
The Outcome
The new office has a connected network solution supported by Simpli-Fi’s managed service.
The project brings together the infrastructure needed for the workspace today and a foundation for potential deployment across further offices.
“When a business opens a new office, connectivity needs to be part of the plan from the outset. For Superstruct, we brought together the network fit-out, RUCKUS WiFi and switching, and the Fortinet solution, backed by our managed service. That gives the team a connected workplace today and a practical foundation to build on as they consider other offices.”
