The challenge
As a managed office supplier, internet connectivity is a vital business tool to the existing companies housed within the Centre and for attracting new tenants. With over 60 companies currently located at the Oxford Science Park, the owners needed to provide a fast, secure and reliable internet connection throughout the Magdalen Centre (North and South), Medawar and Sadler sites.The solution
In order for the Centre to supply businesses with internet connectivity in the offices, Daisy provides a secure and robust connection into 90 per cent of existing organisations based in the Magdalen Centre, Medawar and Sadler sites of the Park. A fibre link from Daisy in Oxford into the Centre also provides numerous security features, such as firewalls and switches to ensure that the connection is resilient and secure enough to protect occupant’s business-critical data.The results
As a long-standing customer of Daisy’, the Centre, Medawar and Sadler sites all have a trusted partner to supply its customers with a reliable and high speed internet connection. The Daisy package is flexible and scalable, enabling staff to expand and upgrade the bandwidth as requested by tenants.Located in close proximity to the Science Park, the Daisy engineering teams are able to rapidly respond to any issues that may occur, dramatically reducing downtime of the internet connection. This ensures that businesses are not affected as staff at the Magdalen Centre, Medawar and Sadler buildings can guarantee customers the highest possible uptime, reducing the impact on their business.
