SAN JOSE, Calif., March 25, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Extreme
Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq: EXTR), a cloud-driven networking company,
in partnership with security services provider Orange Cyberdefense
Belgium, today announced it has refreshed Belgium's Federal Public Service (FPS) Justice
network infrastructure. The new network offers high-speed
connectivity across 240 buildings that is 20 times faster than
the previous network, enabling the digitization of the justice
system's services, including court hearings and prison visitations,
so they can now all be held remotely. It also enables over 23,000
employees and thousands of users, such as citizens and the police,
to securely exchange information and access critical applications,
improving operational efficiency.
Key Benefits:
- Fast and Reliable Network Performance: ExtremeSwitching™
and ExtremeRouting™ technologies have given FPS Justice a robust
and reliable network with increased bandwidth that absorbs speed
mismatches and handles microbursts while offering high performance.
Additionally, Extreme Fabric Connect™ creates a self-healing
autonomic networking architecture that allows FPS Justice to
perform upgrades and sub-second recovery of real time traffic
without any degradation of service or performance.
- Simplified Network Management: Extreme Fabric Connect
provides FPS Justice with a simplified, agile, and resilient
infrastructure that makes network configuration and the deployment
of new network devices and services much faster and easier for its
IT team. Furthermore, it reduces both the risk of human error and
the time for maintenance windows thanks to its ability to set and
forget the network core during updates.
- Operational Efficiency and Security: Extreme's Fabric
Connect technology boosts operating efficiencies for FPS Justice by
reducing the number of engineers required to manage its distributed
network from 3 to 1, allowing the wider IT team to focus on other
high value tasks. It also allows for the logical separation of
consumer IoT devices from the justice system's corporate
technologies and assets to help reduce risk and keep the network
secure.
Executive Perspectives:
Jimmy De Laet, ICT
Infrastructure Director, Federal Public Service
Justice
"Digitizing the justice system securely and at
speed has been a long-standing objective of the Belgian government
to both modernize and improve services. Thanks to Extreme Networks
and Orange Cyberdefense Belgium arming us with a new network and
24/7 technical support, we have been able to meet this objective to
improve information sharing and offer new digital services. Our new
network is truly a game changer for the way our justice system
operates."
Emmanuel David, Technical
Director, Orange Cyberdefense Belgium
"As Europe's
leading security services provider, we strive to build a safer
digital society when supporting businesses across the world. In any
digitalization project, it is crucial to make sure the network
itself not only offers reliable connectivity but resilience against
potential security threats. By collaborating with Extreme, we have
deployed a network which achieves just that by avoiding human
errors and separating traffic flows where required."
Henk Bretveld, Country
Manager Benelux, Extreme Networks
"We are proud to
refresh FPS Justice's network and support the digitization of its
services alongside our long-standing partner, Orange Cyberdefense
Belgium. From achieving better security to delivering high-speed
connectivity across all 240 buildings, FPS Justice now has an
advanced, reliable, and future-proof network that is ready to help
make the Belgian justice system as effective and efficient as
possible."
