Las Vegas entertainment hub delivers 1.25 million square feet of transcendent experiences using Aruba ESP-based network

作为第一个在40年内开放的拉斯维加斯市中心住宿和娱乐场所，Circa Resort＆Casino开始在其125万平方英尺，35层，777个房间的体育用品中提供最新的技术实现经验。

“Digital technologies were fundamental to realizing our vision for creating an energetic and transcendent atmosphere,” explains Paul Ballard, CIO at Circa. “From multicasting on massive video displays throughout the property to providing guests with modern in-room amenities, we needed the wired and wireless networking infrastructure essential for supporting our unique 24/7 operation.”

Holistic Solution Supplies Full Networking Stack

付出了昨天最好的任务，今天的兴奋以及明天的可能性，大约是设计奇异的放松和游戏空间，例如体育场游泳池甲板，露天剧场风格的躺椅面对143英尺高的视频显示屏这是一本三层楼的体育博彩，其中包含7800万像素视频显示，分为42个屏幕，以及一个称为车库Mahal的连接运输中心。

为了确保它可以提供提供出色视频，游戏和室内产品所需的带宽，性能，可靠性和安全性，大约与信任的集成合作伙伴合作，Evotek，评估了惠普企业公司Cisco，Juniper和Aruba的各种网络解决方案，以及Corning提供酒店房间连接的Gigabyte无源光学网络（GPON）。

最终，大约选择标准化Aruba的端到端解决方案。巴拉德说：“阿鲁巴提供了全部启用AI的有线和无线网络创新的堆栈。”“此外，将Aruba Wi-Fi部署到客房中，以解决用户期望，同时为我们节省了近50万美元的GPON。”

阿鲁巴ESP-based Network Powers Experiences On-site and Off

对于基于Aruba ESP的网络，Circa的无线部署包括Aruba的500系列Wi-Fi 6访问点（APS）and户外AP在公共区域以及hospitality APsfor in-room connectivity. Wired solutions includedCX Switch Series在核心5400R开关系列用于聚合和2930开关系列for edge access.

大约还部署了CX 6300开关系列将其Sportsbook扩展到内华达州和科罗拉多州的卫星位置。巴拉德说：“我们计划继续使用Aruba基础设施将游戏的存在扩展到其他司法管辖区。”

统一管理简化管理并改善故障排除

在管理方面，大约通过实施来简化有线和无线网络管理空波用于网络管理以及ClearPassfor network access control (NAC) and policy management.

“Our advanced infrastructure ensures our lean IT staff the can efficiently and effectively manage the network and support modern hospitality applications,” says John Palma, Manager of Information Technology Network Engineering at Circa.

此外，大约被采用了用户体验洞察力（UXI）to gain continuous real-time performance insights from a user and device perspective. “Enabling us to proactively remediate experience issues solves a historical frustration for hospitality IT departments like ours, as users frequently report trouble long after the fact,” Palma says.

伙伴hip enables on-time grand opening during pandemic

在部署期间，大约不仅在建造新设施方面面临着典型的挑战，而且还辩称在COVID-19距离和隔离限制期间完成度假村。Evotek和Aruba的协助都是保持正轨的关键。

“尽管我们的有线和无线实施顺利进行，但我们经历了一些第三方集成障碍，例如与我们的Crestron DM NVX AV-Over-IP帕尔玛说。

“Aruba immediately provided us with direct contact to the appropriate developers, who sorted out the situation expeditiously,” he adds.

“In IT, we’re very pleased with our CX Switching portfolio,” says Palma. “Coming from a Cisco background, the polished CX interface and the capabilities within the AOS-CX operating system make it much easier to deploy and manage services on thousands of switch ports.”

IT and Business Benefits Quickly Add Up

借助其整体网络，大约对IT和业务收益进行了可观的回报。

“In IT, we’re very pleased with our CX Switching portfolio,” says Palma. “Coming from a Cisco background, the polished CX interface and the capabilities within the AOS-CX operating system make it much easier to deploy and manage services on thousands of switch ports.”

Also, the combination of CX switches and ClearPass enables Circa to utilize Aruba’s动态分割用于自动化端口分配和对流量进行自动化的功能，基于基于的角色和上下文。帕尔马说：“与传统的预配合开关端口的方法相比，资源节省很大。”

此外，Aruba Wi-Fi的零接触式供应为混合带来了效率。帕尔马说：“零触摸与ClearPass和AOS-CX中可下载的用户角色功能合作，以减少我们的网络配置任务多达75％。”

捕获竞争优势

从企业的角度来看，大约获得了敏捷性，以利用竞争机会，同时保持日常运营嗡嗡作响。

“Just one example was quickly reconfiguring a space to accommodate strong guest interest in the first post-COVID March Madness NCAA Tournament,” says Ballard.

“It was a significant revenue opportunity that only required days for setting up the needed wired and wireless connectivity,” he adds. “With other solutions we’ve experienced, it would’ve taken months.”

机器人调酒师，连接的安全性和其他IOT启用的进步

Circa的网络基础架构日常，还支持自动化操作并确保出色的客人体验的应用程序。这包括度假村的Oracle Hospitality Opera 5物业管理系统（PMS），具有用于数字登机手续和数字房间钥匙的Wi-Fi集成以及室内设施，例如连接的照明和IP电视，以及各种用于动员客房服务员和设施工程人员的解决方案。

“Even our building maintenance system is connected,” Ballard says. “We use it for everything from controlling the Stadium Swim’s water filtration to leveraging IoT-enabled robotic bartenders for efficiently mixing drinks behind the scenes.”

其他物联网解决方案同样至关重要。它们范围从Tallyfi点击器计数器，用于实时出勤分析和容量管理，用于物理安全系统。

“For enhanced safety, we’ve paired ourOtis Compass 360电梯系统盐盐系统电子访问锁。”巴拉德说。“通过整合从PMS中获取的信息，我们不仅将电梯限制在员工和客人身上，而且确保个人只能在适当的楼层退出。”

车库泰姬陵:高科技的交通枢纽

It’s a similar story in the Garage Mahal, where creating a clean, safe and artistic transportation environment draws upon the network for multiple services.

巴拉德说：“除了为传统选择提供连接性外，乘车共享操作员还使用我们的Wi-Fi与客户进行交流。”“此外，我们部署了Skidatamanagement system to turn our garage into a revenue-generating business.”

Circa’s technology capabilities helped the resort win the opportunity to host the downtown terminal for theBoring Company's Vegas Loop project在车库玛哈尔。巴拉德说：“该项目将通过高速运输隧道互连各种拉斯维加斯的位置。”

“Our advanced and flexible Aruba network gives us the ability to layer on applications and solutions that differentiate us from all of the other properties in the market,” Ballard says. “That’s key to our profitability and our overall success.”

Ongoing Aruba ESP Innovation Differentiates It from the Rest

Moving forward, Circa intends to extend it use of the Aruba Edge Services Platfrom (ESP) to gain further operational and IT benefits.

这包括评估Aruba Central，这是一种功能强大的云网络解决方案，具有AI驱动的见解，工作流程自动化和强大的安全性。借助Central，大约可以从单个仪表板中优化其有线和无线网络，并从高级AIOPS中受益于主动网络管理和卓越的酒店应用程序支持。

无论其部署哪种新解决方案，大约期望其Aruba合作伙伴关系将继续发挥重要作用。

“Our advanced and flexible Aruba network gives us the ability to layer on applications and solutions that differentiate us from all of the other properties in the market,” Ballard says. “That’s key to our profitability and our overall success.”
