Rust Report
| Regional IT network and managed services provider NetStar claims that a network it
has been selected to build for Swinburne University will be one of the largest IP
networks in Australia.
The contract, which is valued at more than $A7 million, will overhaul communications
infrastructure across the university’s six Victorian campuses. The network, based on
Cisco equipment, will include more than 18,000 IP end-points and 4000 IP screen
phones.
Richard Constantine, CIO of Swinburne, said the IP infrastructure will lead to annual
savings of more than $A900,000. “We will also benefit from a more sophisticated
communications platform, enhanced capabilities, and simp lified maintenance,” he
claimed. |
