Description
Auto-translated from GermanThe City of St. Gallen procures the entire internal network, including WLAN and zone firewall, as a service from an external partner. In total, over 200 locations and 5,600 workstations are connected to the two main data centers via this network infrastructure. Furthermore, over 900 access points are in use at numerous locations within the city. For the operation and further development of the network, which is already outsourced by the City of St. Gallen, a new partner is being evaluated (contract duration from 06/01/2027 to 05/31/2032). Due to the existing technological network infrastructures, considering the investment protection of the deployed hardware, and the extensive customization of the network architecture, this tender requires the continued use of the existing network hardware, which is still fully supported by the manufacturer. Furthermore, the existing operational and network concept must be adopted and further developed over the next five years. The new partner will continuously replace hardware and software components that reach the end of their lifecycle during the contract period, according to the respective predefined lifecycle.
