We have replaced all of our old 10-20-year-old infrastructures.
We replaced the switching infrastructure with new Meraki (Cisco) switches and we replaced the wireless infrastructure with matching Meraki (Cisco) access points. We increased the connections between switching closets from 1 Gbps to 10 Gbps fiber.
On the server-side we implemented an Arcserv Backup system, a System Center Configuration Server (SCCM), implemented a Print server, an automation server, solid-state drives for some of our core servers, doubled our storage capacity, replaced our domain controllers, upgraded from an older version of VMware to Hyper-V running on Microsoft Server 2019, setup a redundant mainframe to decrease outages and increase operability, and much more.
On top of replacing all of these systems, we have leased this equipment creating a recurring cost for all of this equipment. What this means is that when the leases are up we will immediately replace these systems utilizing the same money line ensuring that our equipment never becomes out of date again. This does not take into consideration inflation, however, the base amount of money is always available for these upgrades utilizing this setup.
