Provision of Mpls Wide Area Network Upgrade
Authority: Lee Valley Regional Park Authority (Public body)
What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionThe Authority currently uses a MPLS WAN made up of fibre circuits (see Mpls Locations below) with varying bandwidths, ranging from 10Mbps to 1000Mbps on varying bearers. We require a /29 subnet at each site.The devices and systems within the internal LAN are a culmination of switches, computers, AP’s, Servers and some small scale CCTV systems. The number of devices connected will vary depending on the size of the site. The Head Office at Myddelton House will have the most with approx. 300 devices connected. Our current handoff is Ethernet. The Authority currently has an on-premise server estate spread across two locations (data centre and at Head Office). As part of this tender we want to move to a fully virtualised environment as this will provide improved resilience and reliability.We are now looking for a turnkey solution for a new secure Wide Area Network with and virtualising our server estate onto a hosted cloud platform.
