The Coillte group request expressions of interest from suitably qualified candidates with a preference for the provision of a Total Telecommunications Managed Solution to meet our requirements for the following:

 

1. Wide Area Network Data:

Coillte data infrastructure spans over 50 sites (1 in NI, 1 in GB, remainder in ROI). The corporate headquarters in Newtownmountkennedy (NTMK), Co. Wicklow currently acts as the data center for the branch office (WAN) connections. This Data Centre will be moving to a hosted managed services solution based in Ireland by the end of 2015. The majority of the branch offices connect over private DSL, the remaining connections are a mixture of leased line, ISDN and wireless technologies. Many branch offices have ISDN backup connections. Some offices have additional wireless backups. A significant number of the sites are located in remote rural locations.

The vast majority of WAN traffic is Citrix ICA traffic, requiring highly reliable connections. The most significant traffic besides this is print traffic. All branch offices access internet/file/email services through the Data Centre via Citrix or otherwise.

There is also a separate DSL data network that carries VoIP & Videoconference traffic between 7 branch offices.

 

2. Fixed Voice:

There are approx. 70 sites at which voice telephony services are provided ranging from single user, single line sites to our largest staffed site in NTMK with 100 staff.

PBX equipment is located at 14 sites which are all Siemens Hi-Path systems. The majority of the calls are national/local and there is a high proportion of calls to mobiles.
