By Extreme Networks and Marysville Schools
The Marysville Exempted Village School District is a growing school district located approximately 20 miles northwest of Columbus, Ohio. The district has over 5,000 students within its six elementary schools, one intermediate school, one middle school, and one high school. In mid-2007, it had an outdated and under-performing network that wasn't able to support some of the applications the schools planned to deploy, including Voice-over-IP (VoIP) and video streaming for on-demand educational presentations within the classrooms. There was also the need for fast Internet access. Not all Marysville Schools were on the same network, so the plan was to standardize on one infrastructure that could support Internet access, streaming video and a stable backbone for VoIP, as well as other educational and administrative applications that the faculty and staff needed.
Marysville Schools wanted a comprehensive wired and wireless solution, preferably from one vendor, and issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) to leading equipment providers. Placing priority on feature functionality, ease of use and management, and cost-effectiveness, Marysville Schools chose Extreme Networks and the Summit WM200 solution.
