Global WAN Services

Kort beskrivelse

Utenriksdepartementet (UD) [the Ministry of Foreign Affairs] invites tenderers to participate in a competition with negotiations for global WAN services. WAN services are included in UD's global network and it is business critical for the client. UD operates an internal hybrid global network that will function together with WAN from the supplier. This internal network is called UD Global Connect (UDGC). UDGC is establishing an encrypted VPN between the endpoints, and uses WAN as a traffic carrier where this has been ordered. UDGC also uses other traffic carriers, but these are not part of the scope in this contract. WAN must fulfil the primary purpose, hereunder (i) ensure that UD's VPN traffic from UDGC is transported between one location and UD's main office (HQ) in Oslo; and (ii) ensure internet access/break in the relevant country or region from a Location via the Supplier's infrastructure/POP.
