Under a five-year agreement, the department will be provided with a fully managed, dual Internet gateway solution and professional services support to link the department’s 110,000 employees, other government agencies, industry partners and the general public. According to Chief Information Officer Greg Farr of the department’s Chief Information Officer Group, “The Department of Defence manages one of the largest information and communications technology networks in Australia.”
“It is our job to ensure that this network offers a dependable, secure and integrated information environment to support Defence military and business operations. It is imperative that we provide simple and secure access to information for our internal and external stakeholders.” The solution offers a streamlined, optimized Internet environment, with enhanced visibility into usage and costs.
