Ministry of Education and Higher Education of Qatar had undergone a significant transformation in the recent years, with massive investments in Education Facilities, Services, Technologies, Security and Infrastructure Transformation to ensure the education need of the nation’s fast-growing population.
MOEHE had implemented a most coveted project, The Centralized Connectivity In The Schools Network (CCSN) which enable Ministry of Education & Higher Education to have a high speed centralized, monitored, secure, reliable, scalable internet infrastructure for all the Government Schools & Kindergartens nationwide by restructuring the current scattered independent internet and MPLS line to a robust, integrated, secure, cost-effective and performance-based architecture with 200 Mpbs per School and 60 Mbps per Kindergarten with Centralized Internet solution. Stakeholders that are benefiting from this strategic project are about 200 Schools + 70 Kindergartens accommodating over 151,000 users (Students/ Teachers / Staff). It is an Isolated zone created to serve Only Govt Schools & Kindergartens with ease of migrating of this zone anywhere in Qatar without much dependency on other services. Single policy, Single blacklist and patch deployment for all the Entities mentioned above and deployed with State-Of-The-Art multi-vendor technology which is also scalable for the next couple of years.
