Although the Valladolid City Council has had a fiber optic communications network for years, they needed to implement a stable, high-availability network by eliminating highly convergent network protocols like RSTP, in order to deploy new telematics applications such as VoIP and video. They also wanted to optimize the routing protocols used, replacing RIP v2 with OSPF.
For the Valladolid City Council, which has 2,395 employees, 1,200 of whom are ICT users, there were a number of shortcomings. Specifically, as explained by Jorge de Teresa, Senior Telecommunications Technician for the Valladolid City Council, “including the City Hall itself, only eight buildings were connected by fiber, while the connection for the remaining buildings, up to 50 in total, relied on ADSL lines, Telefónica's NetLAN solution, or an Ono VPN.”
With the aim of implementing a stable and highly available network, and given the availability of resources associated with Plan E, the Valladolid City Council, which has 313,437 registered inhabitants, launched a public tender for the supply and installation of its corporate voice and data network infrastructure. Of the manufacturers considered, Brocade was selected for the project, through the integrator Bull.
