Horizon Dynamics, Incorporated, a thriving business on the outskirts of Chicago, navigated through significant network challenges within its old buildings. The recent expansion into four cutting-edge office buildingsHorizon Plaza A, Horizon Plaza B, Horizon Plaza C, and Horizon Plaza Dprompted a strategic overhaul of the existing LAN infrastructure. The company's prior setup, featuring a 10/100 Ethernet LAN with shared media 10 Mbps Ethernet segments, proved insufficient for the growing demands. Bottlenecks in network performance impacted critical applications, including the use of OptiSphere software. Recognizing the urgency, Horizon Dynamics initiated a mission to implement a state-of-the-art LAN infrastructure in the new buildings, aiming not only to overcome existing limitations but also to create a collaborative environment capable of seamlessly handling data-intensive tasks across its technology innovation, financial services, and healthcare solutions divisions
