Network Maintenance
The U.S. Department of State has grown significantly over the years. The first Secretary of State, Thomas Jefferson, oversaw a small staff of one chief clerk, three other clerks, a translator, and a messenger. They maintained only two diplomatic posts, in London and Paris, as well as 10 consular posts. More than 230 years later, the Department’s workforce includes some 13,000 members of the Foreign Service, 11,000 Civil Service employees, and 45,000 locally employed staff at more than 270 diplomatic missions worldwide.
Challenge
The Diplomatic Security Agency under The US Department of State utilizes dozens of state annexes to complete and carry out their mission. The network functionality of these state annexes must be monitored and maintained by network infrastructure professionals.
