Data Center Hosting
ITS is consolidating 53 data centers into the state's two enterprise tier-3 data centers.
The data center provides a stable and highly secure environment with full back-up and recovery capability to ensure high availability of state applications. The tier-3 designation brings an expectation of 99.982% availability, full redundancy, greater business continuity, and disaster recovery capabilities.
Networking
ITS provides secure networking and desktop support for more than 38,000 workstations on 1,600 miles of fiber. By tapping into our team's experience maintaining large critical and complex networks, your agency will be free to focus on mission-critical activities. Our complete suite of PC, local and wide area network (LAN/WAN) services include:

Managed Workplace Local Area Network (LAN): connects workstations and network devices to critical applications hosted in state data centers.
Customer Desktop Management: centralized services for safe and secure connections to the NYeNet, ITS Statewide Data Centers, Internet Services, and other agencies and vendors.

Emergency Remote Office: temporary "offices" to provide critical human services and disaster assistance.
OneImage: multiple workstations configured the same way through high speed workstation imaging.
Statewide Network (NYeNET)
The NYeNet backbone is a "digital backbone" of high-capacity fiber optic cables with network access points (NAP) across New York State. ITS's current backbone configuration operates at a speed of 10 GB, or approximately 10 billion bits per second.
Organizations connected to the NYeNet are able to share information and access common applications via a connection between two fiber channel controls. The NYeNet can provide your organization with statewide connectivity at competitive speeds and prices to meet your needs.
Support for this service is provided 24x7x365.
Telecommunications
ITS offers a complete array of voice communications solutions to NYS agencies. Agencies can choose from a variety of feature-rich services including dial tone, voicemail, free-on-net calling, call center services and video conferencing.
ITS enables government entities to improve communications with customers, partners, and employees. Our goal is to enhance your organization by offering quality, reliable and robust, telecommunications services. We are customer focused and strive to be your first choice for service.
