New IT equipment for Ramstein air base
German procurement authority BAAINBw has commissioned Airbus Defence and Space to install new IT equipment and infrastructure at the Ramstein air base headquarters of NATO Allied Air Command, the company announced on 4 August.
BAAINBw acted on behalf of NATO to commission the company for the work, which will see new IT equipment set up for 600 users at the air base. The command headquarters is responsible for monitoring the air space over North Germany, the Baltic Sea and the North Sea and for controlling NATO air operations.
The main objective is to modernise and expand the IT infrastructure of NATO's Public LAN, Mission Secret LAN and Secret LAN. To do so, user workstations will be virtualised and a voice-over-IP solution will be implemented. The company will also include a training programme on virtualisation.
Before the modernisation, a virtual desktop infrastructure concept was implemented with NATO Ramstein on the basis of VMware Horizon and blade servers under the Urgent Requirement 2 project.
