Objective
While converting the historic buildings into one
of Europe’s most luxurious hotels, Four Seasons
decided to incorporate a modern, secure networking
infrastructure to provide guests with premium services
and to increase staff efficiency. To cater for emerging
technologies and aid business growth, a highly
scalable solution was essential.

and to increase staff efficiency. To cater for emerging
technologies and aid business growth, a highly
scalable solution was essential.
“We wanted an advanced Local Area Network (LAN)
to support our Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP)
solution, which required both wired and wireless
telephony,” explains Arcangelo Menegazzo, IT
manager, Four Seasons Hotel, Florence. “We also
needed to provide secure Internet access, CCTV
security monitoring and video-on-demand via Internet
Protocol Television (IPTV). Moreover, to ensure the
business runs smoothly, staff required access to certain
network resources.”

Approach
After establishing a strong partnership with Alcatel, its
telephony provider, the hotel sought a collaborative
relationship with a networking specialist. It considered
possible solutions from Cisco and TT Tecnosistemi Spa,
an HP ProCurve Networking Preferred partner, before
opting for a ProCurve Adaptive Network solution.

“The key prerequisites were secure access to
resources, user-isolation at access points, the
latest wireless security standards, and centralised
management and scalability,” adds Menegazzo.
“Performance, value-for-money, low Total Cost
of Ownership (TCO) and an excellent return on
investment were also paramount.”

To ensure an effective wireless LAN, 150 ProCurve
Wireless Access Point 530s were deployed throughout
the hotel with at least one access point per room to
overcome signal propagation problems caused by
thick marble walling. A ProCurve Switch xl Access
Controller Module links the access points to the hotel’s
ProCurve Access Control Server 745wl.

To aid network management and tackle the hotel’s
wireless security concerns, Four Seasons implemented
ProCurve Manager Plus (PCM+) and ProCurve
Mobility Manager (PMM) software. PCM+ allows
hotel administrators to configure, update, monitor,
and troubleshoot wired switches centrally while PMM
enables staff to plan, deploy, manage, and monitor

“The ProCurve Lifetime Warranty will
undoubtedly lower TCO and we expect a
good return on investment. We are looking
to expanding the solution to 38 new rooms.”
