BAM Nuttall - WAN replacement
BAM Nuttall, formerly Edmund Nuttall, a leading UK civil engineering company, identified a requirement to replace its aging IP Clear network with a Virtual Private Network (VPN). The company wanted to move to a single supplier able to provide and manage leased lines, LES and DSL circuits. This supplier also needed to be able to adapt to their rapidly changing network environment and have experience in technology that would assist in the mobilisation of new construction projects.
Requirements were identified for:
- Additional network capacity to cope with the increased frequency and size of data exchange.
- Ability for new remote users and sites to access central resources via the network.
- Industry-standard encryption to provide additional security for data transmitted between remote locations.
- Improvement of cost / performance ratio as costs of higher speed links were not proportional to 256K links.
- Outsourcing of network management to reduce costs and free up support staff time.
Global roaming for business travellers, IPSec VPN for static locations and SSL VPN security for flexible, remote access enables the workforce to exchange information, access email, or download files from the corporate network wherever they are.
