KBR is a global provider of differentiated professional services and technologies within the Government Services and Technology sectors, employing approximately 37,000 people globally.
At the start of lockdown, as a result of COVID-19, KBR identified that it needed to increase its IT infrastructure as staff were asked to work remotely. Keysource was appointed to deliver a new web circuit to the colocation site within a tight two-week timeframe in order to terminate racks and install a virtual ASA for Cisco AnyConnect VPN.
The solution extends the existing colocation services providing KBR with a single service management solution from Keysource, which supports the business and its increased requirements for remote access. Keysource achieved this with no impact on current KBR operations in a live environment, accessing materials and working within Covid-19 on-site restrictions.
“Over the past 13 years Keysource has provided us with a full range of data centre operational services including planned and reactive maintenance support on the critical M&E infrastructure located at our head office in Leatherhead. This project ultimately played its role in supporting us to ensure that 90% of our global workforce could successfully work from home during Covid-19 and continue to operate ‘business as usual’ as far as possible. “
Tony Monella, EMEA Operational Team Lead, KBR
