Climat

The problem

Climat operates multiple locations across South Australia, with a heavy reliance on connectivity, communications, and systems to support day-to-day operations — particularly during peak seasonal demand.

Their previous environment consisted of a mix of legacy Telstra MPLS circuits, including ADSL and low-speed fibre connections often limited to around 25 Mbps. This resulted in slow and unreliable performance across sites, making it difficult for staff to access business systems efficiently.

Due to these connectivity limitations, the business relied heavily on terminal servers to operate efficiently, increasing complexity and dependence on ageing server infrastructure that was overdue for replacement. Each site also operated its own standalone phone system, leading to inefficiencies, increased costs, and a lack of integration across the business.

What we did

Caznet delivered a complete network, infrastructure, and communications transformation across all six South Australian locations.

Each site was upgraded to a dedicated 1 Gbps fibre connection, linking back to Caznet's private cloud environment in the data centre. This provided high-speed, low-latency connectivity between sites and centralised systems.

Caznet deployed infrastructure-as-a-service and virtual private cloud solutions, hosting Climat's remaining server infrastructure while enabling a transition toward Microsoft 365 as the primary platform for business applications.

A managed network was implemented to provide secure, site-to-site connectivity across all locations, replacing the legacy MPLS environment with a modern, high-performance architecture.

Caznet also delivered a unified business phone system across all sites, replacing individual standalone systems with a single, integrated platform capable of supporting high call volumes during peak periods.

Additional services included enterprise-grade internet connectivity delivered through Caznet's data centre, Microsoft 365 licensing, mobile SIM services, and mobile broadband to support workforce mobility.

The result

Climat now operates on a high-speed, fully integrated network with consistent 1 Gbps connectivity across all sites, significantly improving performance and reliability.

The removal of legacy MPLS circuits and terminal servers has simplified the environment, reduced reliance on ageing infrastructure, and enabled a shift toward modern, cloud-based systems.

Staff now benefit from faster, more responsive systems using thick clients, improving productivity across the business.

The unified phone system has streamlined communications, reduced costs, and improved efficiency — particularly during high-demand periods.

With a scalable private cloud platform, high-performance connectivity, and consolidated communications, Climat is now positioned with a modern, future-ready IT environment.
