South African London-listed information technology company Dimension Data Holdings has been awarded a five-year, $10-million wide-area network support/network management facility (NMF) delivery order by the Administrative Office of the United States Courts (AOUSC) under Dimension Data’s contract with the US General Services Administration.
Didata said in a statement on Wednesday that under this delivery order, Didata’s Government Services group will provide network engineering, operations services, and NMF to support the AOUSC’s Help Desk; the design and implementation of a wide-area network (WAN); and support for ongoing design and analysis of its existing network.
Didata, along with its subcontractor n-link Corporation, an outsourced IT and engineering service provider, will support more than 30 000 federal judges and court staff nationwide, it said.
The AOUSC, the administrative arm of the federal judicial branch, provides service to the federal courts and judges in the areas of administrative support, program management and policy development.
Didata has worked with the AOUSC since 1998, during which time the company has redesigned and grown the AOUSC’s existing 320-site network to an 800-site hierarchical network based on advanced Cisco equipment. — I-Net Bridge
