Our fictitious company, World Game Federation, provides software for computer gaming. In absorbing smaller game companies, it has cornered the software and online game markets. To service its online players, though, WGF needs to upgrade its internal network because it does all its own hosting.
WGF has 16 offices in metropolitan areas: New York, Chicago (headquarters), Dallas and San Francisco. WGF needs one large pipe to the Internet in each city for its online customers and connections from each office in a city to the main pipe. The company uses frame relay as its transmission medium but would consider a change to a technology such as Ethernet, which could grow with its needs as more teenagers become hooked on its games.
WGF also is seeking a provider that can bring IP telephony and videoconferencing to its offices. WGF is aware that not every provider will be able to supply these services, so a candidate will not automatically be rejected if its proposal doesn't include these extras.
Company RFIs
We sent out a detailed Request for Information (RFI) to vendors candidates who could deliver high-speed, easy-to-use technology to a corporate network.
We limited our participants to nationwide carriers and metropolitan providers, excluding metro-only companies that provide service to a local area or region of the country.
The responses to our questionnaire are below in PDF format.
