Business Challenge

This consisted of over 500 access points and was integrated with redundant 500 Mbps internet links, to offer 99.9% uptime • The entire solution was integrated with WLAN controllers, network access control, load balancers and delivered with end-to-end support on hardware and software, for a 5-year period • To enhance security, we provided a 5GB DDoS mitigation service that protects the institute from growing cyber threats • Additional IP pools were also provided for the institute’s web-hosting requirements
Business Impact
