Abstract 
Between 2004 and 2006, Shangri-La’s Rasa Sayang 
Resort and Spa in Penang was closed for a major 
redevelopment and repositioning exercise. The resort 
reopened in September 2006 with a brand new look 
and equipped with the best of modern amenities to 
provide the perfect luxury retreat for vacationers and 
to cater to a growing number of leisure and business 
travellers. 
The resort’s redevelopment provided the opportunity 
for the IT department to look into redeveloping the 
outdated LAN infrastructure. The key objectives were 
to increase the speed of the network to Gigabit speed, 
support VLAN segmentation, add wireless connectivity 
for resort guests, and consolidate three existing 
physical networks into one. 
“ProCurve’s lifetime warranty is a valuable advantage in containing the cost 
of investment and network maintenance. It does not imply that the ProCurve 
products are not reliable. On the contrary, the lifetime warranty is even more 
valuable because it is offered by such a reputable vendor as HP ProCurve.”
