American Fiber Systems Case Study: J.R. Simplot Company

Tags:
ethernet

Overview Based in Boise, Idaho, the J.R. Simplot Company is one of the largest privately held companies in the world. Like many companies in their industry, Simplot managed a decentralized telecom network made up of various T1s, DS3s and OC3s. Information was backed-up and stored using the time-consuming and costly magnetic tapes. Network Technology Manager and his team quickly recognized the need to upgrade their network. Following the diligent three-month RFP process, Network Technology Manager and their team decided to partner with AFS once again. The new solution includes an Ethernet ring between four main sites. AFS also displaced previous T1s and DS3s for inter-office voice and connectivity.
