Notice Title

Out of Band Leased Lines (OOB)

Notice Description

Back in 2017 DVLA appointed BT as the supplier of 3 leased lines which enabled the setup and management of an Out of Band (OOB) Network across DVLA's three main Swansea locations. This connectivity ensured support personnel can monitor and manage all network components independent of the status of the internal network or connectivity. Renewal of the contract for the existing leased lines with BT is required.
