As a result of the new NS3 Framework awards, all UK public sector organisations can access network solutions, communication services, connectivity to cloud-based data and applications, audio and video conferencing, radio and satellite networking, and emerging technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT) and Smart Cities.
Neos Networks discusses how the NS3 Framework award creates new network options and capabilities for the Public Sector.
The Crown Commercial Services awarded Neos Networks access on the Network Services 3 framework, achieving maximum marks on the quality of our response.
How does this benefit organisations in the Public Sector?
Simply put, it allows Public Sector organisations to take advantage of Neos Networks UK-wide fibre network providing the ability to disaggregate the underlying infrastructure from the provision of data services.
This is critical as it enables them to benefit from the infrastructure economics of owning or hiring the underlying network they require. As a result, they do not have to make massive long-term investments in the technology and service layers, allowing short term management contracts to be migrated in a more agile way, as technology changes or the service experiences do not meet users' requirements.
Key areas of benefit to the Public Sector
Firstly, we are committed to providing our customers with the best possible service. We believe that our expertise in and more importantly our willingness to open up Dark Fibre networks will be invaluable to our customers.
This is before we even mention the scalability offered from such networks. Unlike traditional leased lines, which have fixed bandwidth limits, Dark Fibre networks are becoming increasingly important for organisations that require high-speed connectivity and low latency. They can be easily upgraded as government departments needs grow, making their network infrastructure future-proof.
Secondly, providing secure and segregated, cloud first enabled, networks. In partnership with HPE and their Aruba Software Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN) solution.
Neos Networks partnership
By working with us, critical network services can be delivered across the UK over a single physical infrastructure, even operating different security level requirements by using dedicated fibre pairs, then managing the entire network using SD-WAN technology. Because they are dedicated connections, there is no risk of interference from other users or external factors.
