The business of state and local government is changing. State and local government organizations around the
globe are being challenged to improve efficiency, increase services and reduce costs. Today’s government
employees work for many different agencies, are geographically dispersed and require seamless 24-7 access to
secure, up-to-date intelligence. The network infrastructure is the critical backbone connecting users to the
required IT resources and enabling instant sharing of information. This increasing reliance on network connected
resources comes at a time of heightened security concerns. Compliance mandates require agencies to protect data
and resources from unauthorized access or modification.
To meet these challenges the network must go beyond basic high speed connectivity. It must be interoperable,
scalable, easily managed and highly secure. Critical services and real time applications need to be correctly
prioritized. The network needs to provide the users from each department and agency with access to required
resources and data while protecting the data and resources from unauthorized users in other departments.
With embedded intelligence that can be fine-tuned to the specific needs of the public sector, Enterasys networking
solutions are leveraged by State and Local Government Agencies to:
- Ensure the availability of both wired and wireless networking services
- Prioritize critical services and applications
- Enforce role-based access control to protect data confidentiality and preserve data integrity
- Protect existing investments with standards-based interoperability
