needs
As one of the largest contract research organisations involved in pharmaceutical testing, ANTAEA has branches in Europe, the Middle East and North Africa and sends large volumes of data every day.
The company's network has multiple domain controllers with a large number of geographically dispersed users who exchange files, communicate using VoIP technology, use Video Conference systems and browse the Internet. Their network meets international standard for information security management EN: ISO: 27001:2005.
ANTAEA biggest challenge was the installation of secure, reliable and fast corportate connections (VPN) to link their branches in the Middle East and Africa, continents where reliability and speed are extremely low on the Internet connections available. ANTAEA's strategic development goals also meant that the solution should allow future implementation in new branches.
solution

results
Reliability: reliable connections that allow geographically dispersed users/branch offices in 4 countries to communicate seamlessly.
Speed: fast internet in areas with predominantly low-speed access. All connections have data sending rates greater than 2 Mbps.
Flexibility/Scalability: adding new locations to the company's network is dependent on the availability of broadband connections in each region/country and does not need in research into the availability of leased lines from local ISPs.
