BePart Trust, Phase Two

A unified Extreme network now runs across the college and the school, with capacity increased and over 3,500 devices online.

Most education IT teams don't need a bigger network, they need a better one.

One that can easily scale with student numbers, cloud platforms and device density, without adding complexity or cost spikes.

After stabilising the school network ( you can read more about this in Part 1 of our case study), BePart Trust rebuilt the college core and brought both sites onto one standardised Extreme platform.

Netprotocol and Extreme Networks are proud to have worked with BePart Trust & Birkenhead Sixth Form College (currently ranked among the top three sixth form colleges in the UK) on this project.

The integration challenge

A college still running a mix of legacy platforms and ageing switching, alongside a newly stabilised school. Two sites, one standard needed, with no disruption to teaching or exams.

The architecture decisions

Why Birkenhead chose Extreme switching, ENS, Cloud IQ and PPSK (secure per-user wireless access) and how each one maps to a specific operational pain point.

The numbers after

Edge capacity increased from 20Gb to 80Gb. Stable across 3,500+ devices. No single points of failure as well as lower management overhead and faster deployment.
