Client Summary

The Andalusian Government is the self-governing institution of the autonomous community of Andalusia. It serves as the region’s main governing body, holding both legislative and executive powers. Its structure is built on three main pillars: the Parliament of Andalusia, the Presidency, and the Governing Council.

The Andalusian Government is responsible for managing essential areas such as education, healthcare, culture, the environment, economic development, agriculture, infrastructure, and social services—giving it a decisive role in the region.

It has established itself as one of Spain’s most important regional administrations, both due to its size—Andalusia is the country’s most populous region—and the broad scope of its responsibilities.

Why Teldat?

The Andalusian Government selected Teldat to modernize its highly complex data network for several key reasons:

 

  • Teldat has a longstanding, trusted relationship with the client, based on high levels of trust.
  • Other public administrations in southern Spain already using similar Teldat solutions, shared their positive experiences and satisfaction, reinforcing the decision.
  • The client valued that Teldat is a Spanish company, with its R&D team based in Spain.

Challenge

The Andalusian Government needed to modernize its technology in order to manage its highly complex networking system. This regional administration operated over 10,000 sites, with a total of 13,000 routing devices installed—distributed across more than 90 departments, public companies, and other entities. As a regional authority, the network extended far beyond typical office settings, encompassing services such as public healthcare and education. This helps explain why the network was divided into more than 500 segments. The complexity increased further given that many buildings housed multiple departments, public companies, or agencies.

The existing MPLS network management system required modernization to improve both efficiency and performance. At the same time, CAPEX considerations were a key concern: the 13,000 routing devices already installed across the 10,000 sites needed to be reused and integrated into the new network management system.

Additionally, this evolution of the corporate network had to include enhanced cybersecurity solutions, going beyond the centralized protections traditionally implemented.

Finally, one factor made the project even more challenging: it was crucial to complete deployment within 6 months or less. Teldat delivered a comprehensive solution—an advanced SD-WAN to improve connectivity and optimize network performance. This was complemented by an XDR solution, which, through advanced traffic analytics, would for the first time provide deep insight into how the network was used at its origin—that is, at remote sites and at the application level.

Solution

A key element of Teldat’s solution was to simplify a highly complex network system into one that is more streamlined and highly effective. At the core of the design is a cluster of Teldat SDE-28K hubs, offering 100 Gbps capacity and a high-availability architecture, distributed across the client’s two data centers.

An SD-WAN solution was deployed by upgrading all existing Teldat devices. The entire system is cloud-managed, ensuring gains in both speed and operational efficiency. Teldat’s SD-WAN supports the management of over 200 VRFs, a requirement for the Andalusian Government, given its large number of locations and diverse user profiles.

In addition, Teldat’s SD-WAN offers advanced management capabilities to the Andalusian Government, such as granular control and the ability to prioritize voice or sensitive data traffic.

With just a few clicks through a single interface, administrators can manage all deployed devices—which, in this case, are Teldat routers equipped with up to 8 switch ports, supporting copper, fiber, and 4G/5G cellular connections.

Beyond the built-in cybersecurity features of the SD-WAN overlay, a dedicated XDR solution—Teldat be.Safe XDR—was also deployed. This provides the Andalusian Government with network-wide diagnostics and analysis, enabling full visibility of data flows across all devices to ensure everything operates as intended. Traffic patterns, bandwidth usage, and potential data leaks are all monitored and fine-tuned to guarantee optimized SD-WAN performance.

Overall Teldat deploys what can be considered as the largest deployment of advanced SD-WAN and XDR solution in Europe.
