EasyJet outsources network infrastructure
Online travel operator updates networks through outsourcing deal with Alfred McAlpine, as part of its head office relocation.


Budget airline easyJet has deployed new LAN infrastructure and voice over IP (VoIP) telephony systems as part of a network outsourcing deal.
The budget airline carried out the migration to new network services provided by Alfred McAlpine IT services, as part of a move to new 30,000 sq ft corporate headquarters at Luton Airport.
He also said a key part of the deal was ensuring the IT networking part of the move provided a smooth migration process. "Due to the nature of our business and working in such a fast-paced service industry, it was crucial that this was a smooth transition - for both the company and our customers," said Codd.
"Alfred McAlpine IT Services successfully handled the migration of 400 users, over a four day period, to the new facility without any outage to the service, which is a great result."
