Portola Systems, Inc

Portola Systems, Inc. was hired by a high school district in California to overhaul its deteriorating IT infrastructure. The school's network was in a state of disrepair, with chronic connectivity issues, outdated servers, and failing classroom technology. Portola Systems provided consultation and an action plan to revamp the entire network infrastructure. The company conducted a thorough assessment of the school's wireless challenges and network setup, leading to an upgrade of the core network and adjustments to wireless settings. Inconsistent wiring was identified and addressed through a complete re-wiring of fiber throughout the district. New switchgear and access points were purchased from Cisco Meraki, with Portola Systems acting as a value-added reseller. The company also ensured that the school's data closets were equipped with proper UPS backup systems and color-coded wiring sequences for easier identification and troubleshooting. The Director of Technology for the school district reported a high level of satisfaction with the services provided by Portola Systems, noting that they continue to meet with the team weekly for ongoing work. The main contact person was the VP of the company, who worked with a team of up to four engineers on the project.
