Improving Service Delivery with Less Cost, Time, and Risk

Citizens expect a lot more from their state and local governments today, even as these government entities face intense budgetary and IT challenges due to data growth, network complexity, and the need for connectivity across geographical boundaries. However, by efficiently utilizing their network resources, government entities can cost-effectively deliver secure connectivity between departments, remote buildings, or even different jurisdictions—all while delivering more and better services to the community.

With the proliferation of both wired and wireless devices, citizens demand 24/7 availability and the highest levels of information security. To meet these expectations, government entities can provide new services such as "self-serve" Web portals along with 311 and 911 call centers. In addition, they can deploy new and emerging technologies such as mobile wireless, IP telephony, and IP-based video for surveillance and video conferencing.

Regardless of the service, Brocade networking solutions enable state and local governments to be more responsive in meeting the service demands of citizens, staff, and other government agencies. These field-proven solutions provide:
