The Situation
Johnson County SUD underwent a core network upgrade using Ubiquiti network hardware. JCSUD was experiencing network issues due to outdated equipment and an increase in demand for bandwidth. The upgrade involved replacing the existing hardware with Ubiquiti’s UniFi Switches, CloudKey, and access points. The new hardware provided the customer with greater network stability, increased bandwidth, and improved network performance. The Ubiquiti network hardware was easy to install and manage, reducing the overall time and cost of the upgrade. The customer was pleased with the results and has experienced a noticeable improvement in their network performance since the upgrade.
“InnovateIT.io has a methodical way to analyze and determine
our exact needs. I enjoyed the JCSUD team inclusion as a part of
their process.”

Why Do You Need an IT Infrastructure Overhaul?
The fact that technological hardware doesn’t actually have a very long lifespan is the obvious explanation why you might need to overhaul your IT infrastructure. Servers and desktop and laptop computers have an average lifespan of three to five years, so it makes sense to replace or upgrade them as part of machine management before they start to wind down and become inefficient.
The manner we presently work has changed, which is added to it. Businesses are increasingly adopting policies that allow employees to connect to and access the company network via mobile devices, which they frequently prefer to do. They have to rearrange their IT assets in order to meet this need. It is a waste of money to have computers sitting idle in offices when IT budgets may be utilised to provide employees with personal mobile devices.
Similar to this, outdated computers and servers that can’t handle this or have performance issues when attempting to must be updated due to the requirement for team members, clients, stakeholders, and customers to have on-demand access to data from anywhere and the exponential expansion of that data.
The older your operating system, the more susceptible it is to virus or ransomware assaults, data loss, and other security issues.
