Delivering Networks Solutions for the Public Sector
The public sector – a drive for best value
Public sector organisations are under constant pressure to achieve maximum value for money, driving many to seek the option of owning their own dedicated fibre network.
Organisations of all types – in central or local government, health or education – face a huge growth in data traffic. They need a network that offers a secure solution, offers value over time and delivers shared service opportunities.
Public policy initiatives are driving data growth, leading to planned use of shared service infrastructure at local and regional levels, aggregating traffic to achieve best value. These shared service networks can deliver cost reductions and aid regeneration of areas by enabling local access.
In this climate, having control over dedicated fibre networks is proving highly cost competitive compared with leasing managed bandwidth from a traditional operator.
With this new model customers can control their cost and growth profiles, upgrading simply and efficiently, with the freedom to create the platform that best fits their requirements.
These network characteristics are vital for a public sector with increasing demands for more front line services and with back office budgets under constant scrutiny and constraint.
With public sector networks now as bandwidth-hungry as any in the private sector, they have a need for both capacity and coverage.
Previously capacity has been bought in chunks, but now, with the alternative of owning their own dark fibre network, organisations can look to bring connectivity needs in-house and save money – controlling costs while increasing capacity
