Success Stories
Who?
Van Vuong, Network Systems Administrator at Rio Hondo College, oversaw the transition to a new and more expensive network provider. He’d known Ed Padilla, head engineer at NE Systems, since 2003 and decided to reach out.
“I’ve had a long-standing relationship with Ed, so hiring NE Systems to look at our malfunctioning network was an easy decision. I knew I could count on Ed and the team at NE Systems to find an efficient and effective path forward and enable Rio Hondo to finally capitalize on its investment in better technology.”
– Van Vuong
What?
Rio Hondo purchased new network hardware to align with their growing administration but required further comprehension to fully capitalize on their investment. Their network adjustment encompassed flow network issues, inability to maximize resources, and opportunity for optimization.
“It’s a common story you hear – companies updating their system and focusing on elevating their online experience but not recognizing the network is not optimized for future growth. Eventually, you realize that to truly thrive alongside your new software, you need to have an expert implement an architecture designed to handle enterprise-sized network demands, lead to expansion, and create a more efficient and successful organization.”
– Van Vuong
How?
Leveraging his in-depth knowledge and previous work with the manufacturer of the network’s components, NE Systems provided valuable advice on optimizing the network’s performance and improving its architecture. The initial visit aimed to assess the client’s network, identify problems, and plan necessary improvements. However, we enhanced the existing network’s performance while we worked on architectural improvements, providing elevated efficiency immediately. We then executed a future-proof network architecture designed to accommodate a growing organization. Our detailed usage outline ensured seamless functionality and long-term network health.
“Ed brings a set of core competencies that we recognized immediately. He knew the network right off the bat and used to work for the manufacturer of our system’s components, so he was very competent and capable with that technology.”
– Van Vuong
Why?
“We’ve been working with Ed for around 10 years now. When we first hired NE Systems, they came in and provided a temporary network solution while creating an elevated systems architecture. Ever since, we always consult Ed whenever we need to replace hardware or make network modifications. Since implementing NE Systems’ optimized network architecture, we’ve grown alongside a system that supports us. I trust NE Systems for their extensive expertise, meticulous systems understanding, and dedication to detail. NE Systems never proposes theories or ideas; they provide end-to-end solutions with a track record of success.”
– Van Vuong
Who?
In 2013, Matthew Kiaman, Director of Network Services at Santa Monica College, decided to reach out to NE Systems for network direction.
“I knew of Ed through a contact at Rio Hondo, and after hearing about the efficiency and optimization NE Systems empowered for their network systems, I decided to reach out.”
– Matthew Kiaman
What?
When we began partnering with Matthew in 2013, the organization was experiencing catastrophic crashes regularly. They wanted to identify the cause of these failures, implement a long-term solution, and then consolidate their systems management.
“Beyond resolving the catastrophic and regular network crashes, we looked to consolidate multiple network appliances and provide Pasadena City College a greater return on our investment through simplified management.”
– Mathew Kiaman
How?
Our expansive network knowledge and expertise allowed us to quickly determine and troubleshoot the causes of the college’s network crashes. After implementing a permanent solution to ensure stable, consistent network coverage, we created a strategy for streamlining their network systems.
“NE Systems immediately diagnosed and resolved our network’s failures. We then worked together to find ways to consolidate multiple network appliances by simplifying management, reducing network room space, and minimizing power usage. Ever since, our more effective and efficient network system has provided reliable connectivity, reduced costs, and ensured a larger ROI for Pasadena City College.”
– Mathew Kiaman
Why?
“There is always hesitation when working with a new vendor. However, knowing NE Systems had existing community colleges as their clients built a level of initial trust. Ed was also extremely responsive and communicated honestly about what NE Systems could deliver. Once, we were advised by another vendor to run a completely different network infrastructure to address issues in transporting videos. NE Systems’ expertise enabled us to accurately determine the equipment requiring replacement and the equipment that only needed reconfiguration.
Ed and the team at NE Systems tailor their approach to work with our budget and specific network needs, offering a combination of expertise, partnership, and transparency. While many vendors understand only Cisco or only HP, etc., NE Systems provides the comprehensive network knowledge to optimize our wide range of software types.”
