Project Background
The project involves the design, execution, operation, and maintenance of a cutting-edge IP MPLS network, aimed at enhancing its communication infrastructure. This network spans 44 locations and 33 data centers, ensuring seamless connectivity across critical naval operations.
Key components of the solution include the implementation of a comprehensive end-to-end cybersecurity framework, providing robust protection against potential threats. Additionally, a 24×7 Network Operations Center (NOC) and Security Operations Center (SOC) are set up for real-time monitoring, ensuring continuous security and network performance.
The project also includes the creation of a Content Delivery Network (CDN) and a Big Data platform, optimizing data processing and content distribution across the network. Post-project, the solution provides multi-year support, ensuring sustained performance, updates, and maintenance to keep the network secure and operational.
Challenges Faced and Mitigated
