The government agencies welcomed the opportunity to improve citizen services with a unified solution featuring
Borderless Networks, a Cisco architecture to bring interactions closer to municipal employees and the city’s
constituents. Like many parts of the world, Frederiksberg Kommune has seen a proliferation of technology devices
among its citizens. The new Cisco environment is designed to connect anyone, anywhere, using any device, to any
resource securely, reliably, and seamlessly.
To address the challenges in the local schools, the city adopted Cisco Catalyst
®
6500 Series Switches for the core,
along with Cisco Catalyst 2960-S and 3750-E Series Switches across the access and aggregation layers, based off
of a Catalyst 6500 Switch. The environment provides a unified solution for reliable wired and wireless access,
supporting 12 campuses city-wide. The solution includes Cisco TrustSec secure access features integrated into the
network infrastructure such as 802.1x authentication, policed by a Cisco Secure Access Control Server. To ensure
a smooth transition, the city adopted the unique “Monitor Mode” to validate the deployment for several weeks
before moving to the enforcement stage of the 802.1x rollout. This gentle approach provides a dry-run to minimize
human and configuration error and boosts confidence before a large-scale rollout. Additional security was provided
by the market-leading Cisco IronPort
®
Web Security Appliances.
Beyond the classrooms, the Cisco environment enhances Frederiksberg Kommune’s ability to improve citizen-
facing services across the board, making it faster and easier for staff to respond to constituent demands for better
education, healthcare, and enhanced management of city resources such as parks and roads. In addition, as more
public services move online, citizens can directly access the services they need without delay.
“The technology integrated nicely and worked well across our departments. With more powerful switches and the
introduction of the new Cisco security features, we were able to see some of the access weaknesses we had
before and then fix them. The upgrade proved to be extremely valuable,” said Nejsum.
Results
With its Cisco refresh, Frederiksberg Kommune adopted an
enterprise-class network to support increased demands from
constituents. Since the solution was implemented, network stability
issues have become a thing of the past and IT help desk incidents
have declined 90 percent. As a result, IT staff can make more
efficient use of their budget and staff can spend time focusing on
more strategic initiatives to improve citizen service across
departments.
For instance, students and teachers benefit with more expansive
opportunities for dynamic learning. Now an entire class can use
video streaming services on laptops simultaneously during lessons,
whereas previously this could only be accomplished by a small
number of PCs at a time. Schools have network coverage now in all
teaching areas, with libraries and administration areas gaining
improved access with ongoing rollout. Equally important, the new
Cisco environment will make it possible for school administrators,
faculty, and students to use their own devices to securely access the
internet.
