CDNIS boosts network performance with Logicalis and Cisco Meraki

The Customer

Canadian International School of Hong Kong (CDNIS) is a leading International Baccalaureate (IB) World School with over 2,200 students and staff. Known for its innovative and holistic approach to education, CDNIS is committed to integrating technology into its operations to enhance teaching, learning, and administration.

As a recognised ‘Green School,’ CDNIS prioritises sustainability in its digital transformation efforts, seeking robust, efficient, and secure digital infrastructure to meet the demands of a rapidly evolving educational landscape.

The Challenge

CDNIS was constrained by outdated legacy systems that lacked scalability, reliability, and advanced security features. The inefficiencies of these systems disrupted productivity and left critical data infrastructure vulnerable to security threats.

The school also faced significant challenges with managing a distributed network of access points, requiring a solution that could improve connectivity, performance, and visibility within tight deployment timelines.
 

The Solution

To address these challenges, CDNIS partnered with Logicalis to implement Cisco Meraki, a cloud-based platform offering centralised visibility and control over its wired and wireless networks. This solution enabled efficient endpoint management, rapid deployment, and enhanced connectivity.

Logicalis' technical expertise ensured that CDNIS could optimise network performance, integrate next-generation security features, and align the transformation with the school’s long-term sustainability goals.

The Result

With Logicalis' support, CDNIS successfully transitioned to a secure, cloud-based network infrastructure, significantly improving efficiency and scalability. The adoption of Cisco Green Pay aligned the school's IT practices with its ESG objectives, underscoring its commitment to sustainability. This transformation delivered faster connections, enhanced visibility through centralised management, and next-generation security features.
 

"In the past, with our legacy systems, we have faced instances of unstable Wi-Fi connectivity interrupting our teaching and learning processes, as well as several network security issues. Logicalis has provided us with comprehensive solutions that have enhanced security and network stability and improved our efficiency significantly.""In the past, with our legacy systems, we have faced instances of unstable Wi-Fi connectivity interrupting our teaching and learning processes, as well as several network security issues.
