DESCRIPTION
The government authority in Connecticut is seeking vendors to provide E-rate eligible firewall services to support its district's instructional technology, administrative services, and expanding digital resources. The required solution must offer robust, high-capacity firewall protection and be scalable to handle anticipated growth in bandwidth demand.
Vendors should propose a cost-effective option that enables the district to maximize its E-rate funding opportunities. The solution must deliver a high level of network uptime, targeting a service level agreement (SLA) of 99.9% or better. Additionally, contractors will be responsible for ongoing network monitoring, proactive maintenance, and regular patch management to ensure firmware and security updates are promptly applied throughout the contract term.
