关于客户
The University of Bern is a leading research institution located in Switzerland. The university is renowned for its high-quality education and the constant use of the latest technologies. It leads four National Centers of Competence in Research (NCCR): Climate, NorthSouth, Trade Regulation, and TransCure. Additionally, it supports the NCCR MUST research program, which brings together 16 Swiss research groups working across the fields of physics and chemistry, with ETH Zurich. The university's work is based on high quality and the constant use of the latest technologies. However, with students and staff demanding better, faster access to online applications, and research projects consuming more bandwidth and network resources, the university reached its limit due to an IT environment that could no longer cope with demand.
挑战
The University of Bern, Switzerland, realized that its core routers were at their end of life, and that it needed to upgrade them to remain a leading research institution. Video streaming, a larger population of mobile devices, and new research applications were pushing the network’s capacity. The research requirements were especially stringent. The university leads four National Centers of Competence in Research (NCCR): Climate, NorthSouth, Trade Regulation, and TransCure. Additionally, it supports the NCCR MUST research program, which brings together 16 Swiss research groups working across the fields of physics and chemistry, with ETH Zurich.
解决方案
The university worked with Brocade Partner BNC Business Network Communications AG to review and compare network solutions. The top priorities were reliability, 10 GbE bandwidth capabilities, and upgrade options for 40 GbE and 100 GbE. After comparing different core and campus networking solutions, the University of Bern chose Brocade MLXe Core Routers for its network core and Brocade ICX 6610, 6430, and 6450 Switches for the network edge. Brocade MLXe routers support this intense environment by delivering up to four times the 100 GbE wire-speed density and nine times the system capacity of alternative router offerings. In addition to performance improvements, Brocade routers introduced management advantages. The Brocade MLXe router provides greater network simplicity by significantly decreasing the amount of infrastructure needed, which can also help reduce operational overhead.

IoT platform Enables Safety Solutions for U.S. School Districts
Designed to alert drivers when schoolchildren are present, especially in low-visibility conditions, school-zone flasher signals are typically updated manually at each school. The switching is based on the school calendar and manually changed when an unexpected early dismissal occurs, as in the case of a weather-event altering the normal schedule. The process to reprogram the flashers requires a significant effort by school district personnel to implement due to the large number of warning flashers installed across an entire school district.

Revolutionizing Medical Training in India: GSL Smart Lab and the LAP Mentor
The GSL SMART Lab, a collective effort of the GSL College of Medicine and the GSL College of Nursing and Health Science, was facing a challenge in providing superior training to healthcare professionals. As clinical medicine was becoming more focused on patient safety and quality of care, the need for medical simulation to bridge the educational gap between the classroom and the clinical environment was becoming increasingly apparent. Dr. Sandeep Ganni, the director of the GSL SMART Lab, envisioned a world-class surgical and medical training center where physicians and healthcare professionals could learn skills through simulation training. He was looking for different simulators for different specialties to provide both basic and advanced simulation training. For laparoscopic surgery, he was interested in a high fidelity simulator that could provide basic surgical and suturing skills training for international accreditation as well as specific hands-on training in complex laparoscopic procedures for practicing physicians in India.

Implementing Robotic Surgery Training Simulator for Enhanced Surgical Proficiency
Fundacio Puigvert, a leading European medical center specializing in Urology, Nephrology, and Andrology, faced a significant challenge in training its surgical residents. The institution recognized the need for a more standardized and comprehensive training curriculum, particularly in the area of robotic surgery. The challenge was underscored by two independent studies showing that less than 5% of residents in Italian and German residency programs could perform major or complex procedures by the end of their residency. The institution sought to establish a virtual reality simulation lab that would include endourological, laparoscopic, and robotic platforms. However, they needed a simulator that could replicate both the hardware and software of the robotic Da Vinci console used in the operating room, without being connected to the actual physical console. They also required a system that could provide both basic and advanced simulation training, and a metrics system to assess the proficiency of the trainees before they performed surgical procedures in the operating theater.

Edinburgh Napier University streamlines long-distance learning with Cisco WebEX
• Geographically dispersed campus made in-person meetings costly and inconvenient.• Distance-learning programs in Malaysia, India, and China required dependable, user-friendly online tools to maximize interaction in collaborative workspaces.• Virtual learning environment required a separate sign-in process, resulting in a significant administrative burden for IT staff and limited adoption of collaboration technology.

8x increased productivity with VKS
Before VKS, a teacher would spend a lot of time showing a group of 22 students how to build a set of stairs within a semester of 120 hours. Along with not leaving the teacher much time to provide one-on-one support for each student to properly learn carpentry, it also left a considerable amount of room for error. Key information would be misinterpreted or lost as the class was taught in the typical show-and-tell way.

Scalable IoT Empowering GreenFlex's Sustainable Growth
GreenFlex, a company that supports sustainable development, decarbonization, and energy efficiency, faced several challenges in its quest to expand its business. The company needed to deploy a robust and sustainable IoT technology to support its growth. It was crucial for them to monitor and control devices at customer sites in a safe and reliable manner. They also needed to integrate devices across a range of communication protocols and gather and act on data to meet efficiency targets. GreenFlex had previously built IoT capabilities into its digital platform, GreenFlexIQ, to monitor and manage customer sites remotely. However, they soon realized that they needed a new platform to support their ambitions. They needed a platform that could scale to connect more devices for production management and make it easier for the operations team to manage devices in the field.
