Networks Centre & Siemon Deliver a Smooth Landing for World-Leading App-Based Reservation Agency
Following the pandemic, users from around the world were flocking in their millions to take advantage of their newly-rediscovered freedom and reserve stays at homes, apartments and hotels all over the world through the Agency’s app. This surge in demand was driving the need for new infrastructure systems to be designed and deployed rapidly, and the pressure was building to complete this project to meet strategic goals.
The ICT delivery team on the project was looking to purchase cables from a manufacturer previously used for their switches, however, though the switch hardware was all delivered on time, global chip shortages and long lead times meant that the cabling was taking far longer.
The main issue arose when the customer assessed they needed hundreds of direct attach copper (DAC) cables delivered to their locations in Amsterdam, NL and Frankfurt, DE within ten to fifteen days, however, their original manufacturer had quoted around three months, which posed drastic impacts on project schedules.
Influenced by increasing pressure and fleeting time, the customer turned to the knowledgeable team at Networks Centre to enquire about other available options on the market.
With a wide range of high performance, quality products and industry-leading lead times, Siemon was the obvious solution.
Networks Centre provide Siemon’s High-Speed Cable Assemblies (DACs and AOCs) via the HSI Centre, which allows users to easily identify and configure solutions to fit the cable assemblies they need in SFP, QSFP, SFP+ and QSFP+ form factors that support next-gen networking for migrations from 25G up to 400G and beyond. Benefitting from next-day delivery, huge warehouse stock, and experienced advisors, the collaboration between Networks Centre and Siemon is a dependable option for our customers’ needs.
As a result, the agency’s app-based systems were brought online ahead of schedule, allowing new systems to be implemented on their website and the summertime rush managed. The excellent service and standard were well received and multiple orders with Networks Centre and Siemon have been placed since. Cheaper options can appear to be a better deal; however, the lack of reliability, limited stock and speed of delivery can be detrimental to urgent projects.
