00:03 networking today
00:04 is really like a utility and because
00:07 it's such a critical
00:08 relied upon service you have to have
00:11 good partners to help you
00:13 keep that service running in a top-notch
00:16 way and peer is one of those partners
00:18 our primary areas of expertise
00:20 would be in campus and research
00:24 networking
00:25 data center solutions high performance
00:27 computing
00:28 essentially our team speaks the same
00:30 language you do
00:32 which leads to very efficient and
00:35 beneficial collaborations and
00:37 discussions with
00:38 anyone in this community i think the big
00:41 thing for
00:41 peer group that's unique is our focus so
00:44 in the university space right and
00:45 understanding the challenges the buying
00:48 practices
00:49 and the relationships we strive to
00:52 understand the
00:53 community we're not selling the next
00:56 widget
00:56 i don't care that's when you when you
00:57 buy something what you buy is to make
00:59 sure it's the right thing for you
01:01 to solve a problem and it's done the
01:02 right way versus
01:04 here's here's a product the story of the
01:06 iu auditorium is kind of a fun one
01:09 we started learning that there might be
01:11 classes
01:12 being held for the fall semester about
01:15 the end of
01:16 july maybe early august the question
01:19 came to us
01:19 can you put in a permanent wireless
01:22 install before classes start so we got
01:26 together with pier to come up with a
01:27 design
01:29 and you got to have the design in order
01:31 to know what you need to order
01:33 and then along with that pier was able
01:35 to 01:36 procure the hardware that we needed and
01:39 incredibly short amount of time and
01:42 along with that
01:43 they also brought in some expertise help
01:46 who
01:46 have done this sort of install before
01:48 because this was truly a unique
01:50 environment where you've got five or six
01:53 thousand
01:54 seats a balcony and you also have
01:58 architectural concerns that you're
01:59 trying to maintain
02:01 the history and the beauty of the
02:04 auditorium itself to make sure that we
02:06 didn't affect any of those aesthetics
02:08 we ended up finding a couple locations
02:10 where lighting
02:11 was set or there was gaps in the
02:13 material where it was covered you really
02:15 couldn't see it 02:16 so you don't see the technology you just
02:17 experience the technology that's the
02:19 best
02:19 the best of all worlds all said and done
02:22 our team
02:22 did bring a lot of creativity to the
02:24 insulation um the resulting install
02:27 blended completely blended in with the
02:30 building's
02:31 original architecture and the entire
02:34 project
02:34 was completed by the deadline we do big
02:37 things in iu networks
02:39 it's a big university covers the state
02:42 with all of the campuses
02:44 you always want to be a little bit ahead
02:46 of the curve you want to be
02:48 make sure that you infrastructure in
02:50 place that will
02:51 accommodate everything that is needed
02:54 and peer has a lot of resources that
02:56 they can bring to the table
02:58 the relationship and respect between our
03:01 organizations
03:02 in my opinion is remarkable at the end
03:05 of the day i can tell you that our team
03:06 is
03:07 incredibly grateful to iu
