NETGEAR announced the successful implementation of an integrated suite of solutions to help enhance the offered UAE Ministry of Labour (MOL) services of Estemarat (Tasheel Centre), a leading service centre providing web-based services for several UAE government entities.
The implementation and installation was carried out by the leading vendor’s partner, Osool Information Technology, after learning the requirements from Estemarat’s (Tasheel Centre) and doing a thorough analysis of their operations, NETGEAR recommended the implementation of a Quad WAN solution, which offered full redundancy and connectivity via different connectivity methods.
The package included a VPN basic firewall with SSL remote access capabilities, an IP Sec system that would allow for key data gathering for shared files, CCTV footage, ERP and access control security. Aside from Quad WAN, NETGEAR also installed a PoE / GBIC Smart Switch with full integration with Avaya IPT.
