Archipelago International and Cisco Transform the Hospitality Industry in Indonesia The three Bs when choosing accommodation: Bed, Breakfast, Bathroom now includes a fourth B: Broadband
JAKARTA, Indonesia 11 December 2013 Archipelago International, one of Indonesias leading hospitality management companies, has implemented Cisco cloud networking solutions for wireless and wired network access for their guests as well as a scalable and effective dashboard to manage their rapidly expanding network.
Archipelago International operates more than 70 hotels and hospitality brands, such as Aston Hotels, Alana Hotels, Harper Hotels, Quest Hotels, Neo Hotels, Favehotel, and Kamuela Villas across Indonesia, the Philippines, and Malaysia.
The Cisco cloud architecture enables the business benefits of managing the network from a central platform, across hotels and using a web-based dashboard, resulting in significant, long-term labour savings. The Cisco solutions have been implemented in 70 Archipelago International hotels across Indonesia, and they serve 40,000 users per week. With reliable access to the Internet being a challenge, the inclusion of Cisco MX security devices offers smart load balancing. Actions like troubleshooting, diagnostics, VPN setup, and other routine daily management tasks are now performed from Archipelago Internationals headquarters in Jakarta, Indonesia.
With the Internet seen as a fourth utility and with the influx of consumer devices on the network, Archipelago International are able to utilise the web-based dashboard to identify and restrict traffic that is causing a bottleneck, detect usage at the device level, and manage access for those who are abusing the connection.
According to the Cisco Visual Networking Index (2012 2017):
By 2017, there will be 593 million devices connected to the Internet in Indonesia (2.3 networked devices per person).
Indonesias Internet traffic in 2017 will be equivalent to 3 billion DVDs per year, 231 million DVDs per month, or 316,495 DVDs per hour.
Internet video will grow 9-fold from 2012 to 2017, reaching 489 Petabytes per month of traffic by 2017 in Indonesia.
By 2017, the average Internet traffic in Indonesia will also reach 3 Tbps, the equivalent of 2,340,000 people streaming Internet HD video simultaneously.
Cisco cloud-managed networking solutions provide centrally managed, enterprise-class wireless, switching, and security from the cloud, giving network administrators visibility and control. Archipelago International achieved a reliable, easy-to-manage solution that provided cost savings, increased efficiency and maximised network up-time with the complete Cisco cloud-managed network.
Spokesperson quotes:
Jules Brooksfield, Vice President of Technology & Integration, Archipelago International
"After gaining the experience of running a couple dozen hotels on various technologies, I quickly realized that if Im going to be managing hundreds of hotels, what matters most is the manageability of your network and bandwidth. For example, theres no point in having a really strong Wi-Fi signal if you cant monitor and control how its being used - one person can easily bring your hotels bandwidth to its knees without these controls. Furthermore, when its your responsibility to maintain oversight of a large hotel chain across thousands of kilometers, with thousands of Wi-Fi access points and more than 40,000 people connecting to your network each week, having a system like Cisco cloud managed networking is critical. With Cisco, we were able to increase our stability by load balancing multiple ISPs, quickly identify and fix Wi-Fi access points having a problem, do remote cable testing, cache frequently accessed resources, and setup new hotels in one day instead of 5 days because all the configuration settings are automatically downloaded from the cloud controller once a device is plugged in. Finally, because of Ciscos amazing cloud managed monitoring and management features, were able to quickly identify and fix nearly any network issue in any of our hotels from the comfort of our corporate office or at home; and that translates into a better internet experience for our guests and more productivity for our staff.."
Stuart Hendry, Managing Director for Cisco in Indonesia
"Indonesias economic success is closely tied to the hospitality industry and according to research by HVS Global Hospitality Service, the number of tourists travelling Indonesia is expected to reach 400 million in 2023, which will require 800 new hotels and will create 200,000 new jobs. Were excited to see Archipelago International embrace the digital future, as Cisco predicts there will be 593 million networked devices in Indonesia by 2017 (2.3 per capita)."
