[Case Study of 10 Gigabit L3 Switch Implementation] Murayama City, Yamagata Prefecture
With the introduction of HCI, D-Link's 10-gigabit L3 switches have been adopted, consolidating management while maintaining three-layer separation to achieve efficient network operations.
During the network resilience enhancement, L3 switches from another company were introduced. At that time, redundancy was achieved by operating two L3 switches each without using VRF. Although the configuration was simple before the upgrade, maintaining a configuration of four L3 switches after the upgrade would incur significant costs, so we were considering optimal configurations with proposals. In April 2023, alongside the introduction of Nutanix's HCI (Hyper-Converged Infrastructure), the core switches were also upgraded, and operations began. The core switch introduced was the D-Link 10 Gigabit L3 switch "DXS-3610-54T." In preparation for the introduction, we spoke with the representatives from Murayama City about the challenges and concepts they had, as well as the changes brought about by the network upgrade, including the sales group and technical representatives from High-Tech Systems who were involved in the network construction. [Key Points] - Consolidation and redundancy using 10G switches carried out simultaneously with the HCI introduction - Long-term warranty considered one of the important points - Improved manageability of the simplified core switches
