Hays has signed a multi-year contract with Redcentric to provide network services. Redcentric was awarded the contract to support the majority of Hay's UK offices. Redcentric worked in partnership with Hays to create, design and build the LAN infrastructure for the majority of its offices.

They are now connected via Redcentric's MPLS network and are fully managed by the Redcentric team. The MPLS network connects each Hays location into a private cloud mitigating the need for multiple connections and helping to avoid traffic congestion typically associated with legacy network topologies. As one of the world's leading specialist recruitment group, and the market leader in the UK and Australia, Hays' data security is also improved by ensuring that any traffic over the MPLS network is centrally controlled and ring-fenced from other data.

It utilises Redcentric's resilient data centres to ensure high performance. As part of the network migration upgraded the LAN and WAN for well over half of offices. Following a two stage RFP, Redcentric were chosen to deliver this as a managed service due to its ability to provide world class, secure technology, supported by its own engineering teams at a very competitive price.

The implementation has just gone live and provides Hays with Redcentric's full Quality of Service WAN service to ensure application performance.
