Shared Services Canada (SSC) will hold an Industry Engagement Day to provide background, share plans and obtain industry input on the proposed service delivery options and procurement processes for Data Centre Networks (DCN). The Data Centre Networks transformation has two (2) work streams. Inter-Data Centre Networks focuses on high capacity network connectivity between data centres to ensure high availability of mission-critical applications, as well as support for business continuity. Intra-Data Centre Networks focuses on the network infrastructure solution within each data centre to ensure long-term viability and high performance for users.
Additionally, SSC will meet with pre-registered suppliers for one on one sessions to give industry a further opportunity to share their knowledge and provide additional information in response to questions that SSC presents during the Industry Engagement Day.
SSC questions for obtaining industry feedback will be included in the Industry Engagement Day Presentations.
