Buffalo Computer Graphics | Customer Story | Lumen Technologies

Buffalo Computer Graphics (BCG)

Buffalo Computer Graphics supports more than 1,000 users in Western New York and needed faster, more reliable internet as it grew. With Dedicated Internet Access, the team moved from 300 Mbps to 1 Gbps and gained equal upload and download speeds. That change cut backup windows, helped staff back up client data faster and improved daily operations. The network now supports internal growth while helping Buffalo Computer Graphics keep service quality high for client-facing and internal work.

  • Buffalo Computer Graphics needed high-bandwidth, low-latency internet to support internal workflows and client-facing applications.
  • Buffalo Computer Graphics selected Dedicated Internet Access to improve speed, reliability and backup performance.
  • Equal upload and download speeds helped Buffalo Computer Graphics reduce backup windows and support clients faster.
  • The upgraded network helped Buffalo Computer Graphics scale operations while maintaining service quality for more than 1,000 users.
