Government/Public Sector

Delivering Digital Transformation for all Publicly-Funded Organisations

Digital Transformation in the workplace as well as in our everyday lives, has raised our expectations of what we expect from government. From connected apps, to access government and healthcare resources, to easy-to-access fast Wi-Fi in public buildings, the public expects their interaction with public services to be as seamless as it is in every other aspect of their lives. In a landscape of funding cuts, implementing, maintaining, and improving public services, on-time and on-budget, is becoming increasingly challenging.

At Sol Distribution we have a wealth of experience of working with some of the UK’s specialist public sector systems integrators to implement every size of government project, from small branch office network implementations, to large, multi-department, Central Government projects spanning several years. We have experience working on bids, and have helped several of our partners to get on to government frameworks.

Network Visibility Solutions for Government Organisations

Government organizations are continually driven to deliver better public services at increasingly lower costs while maintaining regulatory compliance and improving resources’ sustainability. Digital first digital transformation strategies are being deployed to achieve those objectives and to increase the number of IT projects that deliver successful outcomes.

Digital transformation initiatives introduce new network blind spots

Digital transformation can include a combination of multiple network domains, including on-premise, and public and private cloud, to deliver services to internal service users as well as external public users. Multiple technologies from multiple vendors are often deployed to deliver the best commercial and technical solutions but they increase the challenge to successfully deliver reliable and secure services. Digital transformation also increases the organisation’s reliance on the network and at the same time introduces new incremental network blind spots and security attack vectors that increase the risk of network performance, security and planning threats.

Remove blind spots to improve network performance, security and planning

Complete network visibility across all network domains is critical for their successful performance, security and planning as well as supporting the successful deployment and operation of digital transformation projects to deliver services. Cubro’s solutions remove network blind-spots to reduce the risk of network performance and planning threats, strengthen network security posture, and improve network availability and business continuity.

IoT in Government Networking – Secure Remote Technology for Government Agencies

Federal, state, and local government agencies must balance limited budgets with the need to provide mission-critical services and communications for their communities. Whether it’s military communications for mobile command centers, security, and surveillance to protect citizens at public events, or broadband service for local communities, government agencies are challenged with evolving their networks to deliver secure, reliable, higher-performing services, while leveraging their aging infrastructure.

Network performance and distance limitations of existing copper infrastructure inhibit agencies from operating effectively and budget constraints prohibit building new fiber infrastructure, which is very resource-intensive. Alternatively, integrating fiber into existing copper infrastructure is a cost-effective solution to increasing security and network performance. And, for government agencies the protection of information, security, and prevention of wiretapping is crucial.

Fiber optics reduce security concerns while increasing the performance, bandwidth, and durability of your network. Lantronix products enable the benefits of fiber while maintaining Ethernet networking which maximizes network element re-use within a familiar network protocol.
