Traditionally, PHC’s network was comprised solely
of Cisco switches and routers. After reviewing its
infrastructure, PHC decided to evaluate solutions
from several network vendors, including Cisco and
HP ProCurve, which was represented by its systems

“ProCurve had all the ‘must have’ features at an
affordable price and its standards-based approach,
backed by the free Lifetime Warranty♦, was an
irresistible draw. Moreover, total cost of ownership
(TCO) was considerably less, configuration was
simpler and the ProCurve team worked well with our
network team,” says Harder.

At the Derriford site alone, PHC has deployed three
next-generation HP ProCurve 8212zl core switches,
5300xl and 5400 series intelligent edge switches
as well as HP ProCurve 2600 series managed edge
switches, with PoE. HP ProCurve Manager Plus
(PCM+) software monitors the network and all devices
connecting to it, allowing PHC network administrators
to configure, update and troubleshoot wired switches
centrally and remotely.

After installing its ProCurve Adaptive Network solution,
PHC conducted a convergence vendor evaluation and
considered several voice, video and data solutions.
Three potential solutions were considered: upgrade
PHC’s existing telephone exchange; migrate to a
managed Virtual Private Network (VPN) service; or
migrate to a Mitel Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP)
solution. Calculated over a ten year period, the
Mitel solution was estimated to be up to ten per cent
