General
A highlight - BT/Dixons Travel IPSEC network solution at Heathrow Commercial Telecoms (CT) in partnership with BT, has deployed an end-to-end managed network solution at Dixons Travel stores. The project took diligent planning by both CT and BT teams to deliver the services to 9 stores and stockrooms across 15 locations around the Heathrow estate.The deployed solution consists of a site-to-site CT provided IPSEC VPN connection to the Dixons data centre with a local breakout to the internet provisioned through our 100MB Premium broadband service. The network has been designed as per requirement to separate and isolate all traffic into the designated VLANs. Dixons require this segregation to enable a set of security policies to safeguard each individual function on the network. Previously Dixons provisioned their own network solutions at Heathrow through a third party provider. The benefits of migrating to Heathrow Commercial Telecoms network solution includes:
- On-site provider with 24X7 access and wrap-around support
- Total segregation between the different functions operating within the stores
- Provision of more granular network security policies to make each individual function within the store secure
- Enforcement of enhanced network security policy, protocol inspection and control; with next-generation Palo Alto security appliances
