Notice Title

T24-081BUS Fortinet Network Switches

Notice Description

Derry City and Strabane District Council intends to procure Fortinet replacement switches to replace all of the above Cisco switches. DCSDC have 2 main council sites and multiple smaller sites. The current switch infrastructure in the main council's offices at 98 Strand Road has reached end of useful and supportable life. The current Cisco 2960 POE edge switches across 4 cabinets only allow speeds of 100mb per port and as applications and programs get more and more data hungry there is a need to increase this speed. The core switching is 2 x Cisco 3750 non-PoE in a stack with 1Gigabit fibre uplinks to the edge switching cabinets. As the Council has had this switching in place for some time, change of hardware also provides an opportunity to consider and reconfigure the current VLAN configuration to update, improve performance and improve security. Please refer to the CfT documents for further detail.
