Platform for Voice and Video-A Cisco Case-Study

By upgrading to the latest version Cisco Unified CM, you will improve collaboration with easy access to rich video, voice, conferencing, and IM and presence technology that empowers people to engage and innovate -- anywhere, on any device. Cisco has upgrade options and resources to ease the transition and best fit your business needs, including cloud deployment options.

A great example of a recent upgrade by Cisco is Vistaprint. The Lexington, Massachusetts-based retail electronic service company grew by leaps and bounds between 2009 and 2012 thanks in large part to their aggressive media campaigns seen all over the world.  The growing enterprise wanted to make sure that its employees could readily collaborate with colleagues in any global office, for customer projects and business planning.

“Decisions can take a long time when you rely on email and phone conversations because you can’ see whether someone who usually speaks another language understands you, and you can’t share designs,” said Vistaprint VoIP Manager Jimmy Yan.

Vistaprint built a strong foundation for collaboration and customer care by adopting Cisco® Unified Communications and collaboration applications.

“Cisco supports our business goals because it’s at the forefront of communications and collaboration, and support is outstanding,” says Yan.

Utilizing four Cisco Unified Communications Manager clusters around the world, the solution connects the Vistaprint team via 3000 Cisco Unified IP Phones to approximately 100 workers in the company’s printing plants who use Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phones so that coworkers can reach them anywhere in the plant to report equipment issues that could affect job deadlines.

Additionally, to reduce data center costs, Vistaprint virtualized its Cisco applications and other business applications, and hosts them on a Cisco Unified Computing System™ (UCS®) C-Series Rack Servers. 

“Every Cisco UCS server we deploy replaces four of our old servers, saving data center space, power, and cooling costs,” Yan says. 

The company also uses Cisco Nexus® switches, Cisco Unified Wireless Network, and Cisco Wide Area Application Services (WAAS) for WAN acceleration.

Take advantage of this unmatched experience through best-of-breed applications and devices that Cisco Unified Communications solutions have to offer. You’ll be able to create video conferences and get closer to customers fast.  Learn how to scale your experts while lowering total ownership costs.

Standing Seam Roofs-A Great Fit for Micronesia

A recently published Metal Construction News article highlighted the Metal Roof industry-outlining the top technologies in the marketplace today.  In recent years, GET,LLC has been witness to the utilization of one particular metal roofing system on Guam that can withstand the harsh tropical climate of the Western Pacific and provide a long lasting roofing solution. The end result has been an increase in value to current metal buildings from Yigo to US Naval Base Guam.

Whether you have plans to develop a commercial project or you are closely watching the Guam Housing Corporation's residential home building project in Dededo, there are many types of metal roofing options for a facility on Guam and Micronesia with only one shining above the rest-the standing seam metal roof panel.

The standing seam metal panels are interlocking single-skin panels with concealed fasteners and raised seams.  The panels in these systems are typically installed at continuous lengths from eave to ridge and can vary in widths and styles.  Installed vertically, these systems come in structural or architectural varieties. 

The benefits of a such a system begins with its durability.  A lack of interlocks allows for an expansion of the system that is much better across the entire roof which means a longer life usage.  

Most roofing systems are now sold to meet various UL classifications and ASTM standards for strength, wind uplift and energy efficiency codes for Guam and the region.  Made of aluminum, these systems are recyclable at end of life. With some posting 20 year warranties, the standing seam roof is an affordable solution to any roofing job in Micronesia.  The warranties also take weather tightness into consideration-a must with the amount of rainfall and storm activity we see on a yearly basis.

From a maintenance point of view, standing seam roofs are "low-to-no" maintenance if installed properly.  Cleaning these roofs are as simple as mild soap and clean water.  These systems are also energy efficient and can aid in LEED Certification-especially those in "cool roof" colors.  Integration with solar photovoltaics are simple. Need a quick roof solution? "Float" a standing seam roof system over existing roofing materials for an affordable fix that will last for years. Give a standing seam roofing solution a chance on your next metal building project.
