Communications and Network Services
CSC's Communications Networks and Services provides the latest in communications services to your organization.
As communications expand their reach and power, the complexity of the networks supporting them continues to grow. Today, the network requirements of government agencies can range from large, optical-based connections to wireless, IP-based virtual private networks (VPNs). Meanwhile, security issues have also grown more serious, with proliferating and pervasive technologies and a “constantly on, always wired” workforce. Data centers are the repositories of huge amounts of data, but the user/consumer of that information can be anywhere.
CSC Holistic Approach
Our IT architecture, design and engineering services are driven by world-wide engineering collaboration dedicated to tracking and advancing communications technology and security. We leverage design, optimization and network management tools in supporting the global network operations. We deploy new tailored network solutions and maximize the potential of existing networks.
This holistic approach also includes a built-in adherence to security processes. For our government customers that includes adherence to security processes, the Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) and all relevant plans, policies and guidelines. This approach reduces risk and enhances security for those customers.
Communications and Network Services
Providing seamless connectivity and high availability, CSC provides communication networks that serve as the core of our distributed and parallel model of simultaneous services. We build or retrofit LANs, MANs and WANs for full redundancy, optimization, and load balancing, and with our core network services and our multiple communications partners.
Telecommunications and Wireless Technologies
Interoperability is key. In addition to providing interoperable solutions, we know how to improve overall operational effectiveness, gain efficiencies, and prepare for emergencies through our telecommunications and wireless services.
Enterprise Network Management
Enable policy-based network management scenarios that enhance management and improve reliability. Our tools and processes map traffic flow, report congestion points, project usage trends and provide truly proactive results by establishing threshold alerts.
Managed Network Services
CSC offers a versatile suite of managed network services options that promote enhanced cost stability and reduced risk to our clients. CSC's managed network services are derived from best practices and in-depth practical experience managing and operating highly secure networks in a performance-oriented environment. CSC's managed network services offering includes access to a 24x7 secure network operations center established and operated on behalf of federal clients.
Network Security
Now more than ever cybersecurity is critical to the protection of data and systems in networks that are connected to the internet. Optimize performance and response, and maintain security in both wired and wireless environments by leveraging our expert resources in networking technologies.
Wireless Network Solutions
CSC's mission-oriented background in providing effective core wireless services has been applied across applications as diverse as weather information broadcasts, up-to-the-minute flight data for pilots, and priority wireless service to first responders in emergency situations. From the onset, we have pioneered solutions to meet agency-specific needs addressing complexities such as security, latency, coverage and bandwidth, as well as function-specific requirements. We offer clients the ability to choose from custom-built or rapidly deployed, pre-engineered network architecture and enterprise convergence/consolidation solutions. Our capabilities include wireless design and engineering encompassing the following areas:
- Wireless local area networks (WLANs)
- Broadbandwireless/WiMAX
- Land mobile radio
- Satellite
- Radio frequency identification (RFID) tags
- Managed cellular applications and services
IP Convergence and Migration
CSC assists our government customers to migrate and transition legacy data and voice networks to a converged IP-centric framework, gaining improvements in network management and control, cost, and quality of service. We are helping customers by both engineering solutions and developing transition plans that optimize the timely insertion of new convergence technologies. This is based on a process-driven convergence approach that focuses on maximizing interoperability across LANs, campuses, MANs, WANs and Internet/extranet gateways, emphasizing:
- Scalable and fault-tolerant solutions with the ability to dynamically absorb significant changes in load with no degradation in performance
- Support for multimedia services
- A rules-based engineering approach to change
- Solution development that integrates security requirements as part of the solution
- Providing an operating and migration model that optimizes labor, processes, and tolls to support and stabilize the existing system.
