The challenge
To transform how LCC does business digitally, delivering a more agile, resilient way of working
Liverpool City Council (LCC) needed a more powerful and flexible network to enable access to all IT services for their employees, regardless of their location. The new network core had to be robust, and future proofed to support more agile ways of working.
LCC were developing new business applications to deliver to the workforce, including the deployment of a new virtual desktop solution (VDI) which could not be supported by the existing infrastructure as this was based on first generation Cisco Nexus equipment which was approaching its End of Support.
LCC were looking for a partner who would work with them throughout the deployment from pre-build to project handover so that they would benefit from information sharing and knowledge transfer, making them as self-sufficient as possible when supporting and administering the new network.
