The General Services Administration is counting on software-defined networking services to help it manage demand for connectivity in offices nationwide, according to one of the agency’s key IT managers. GSA, which manages the $50 billion governmentwide Enterprise Infrastructure Solutions contract vehicle selected SDN capabilities when it came to modernizing its own telecommunications profile.
Beth Killoran, the agency’s deputy CIO, said SDN capabilities will help the agency adjust network capacity at its offices across its operating regions as the pandemic progresses.
GSA tapped EIS contractor MetTel in June to provide network and voice services for the agency.
