Our Technologies

IT department

The IT department of the city of Paris employs various means of data transportation, ranging from point-to-point connections using SD-WAN technology covering extensive distances to buried fiber optic network cables transmitting data and voice at one gigabyte per second. Paris takes pride in leveraging cutting-edge technology to safeguard its information infrastructure against both natural events and potential security breaches.

Firewalls and filters provide protection against viruses, trojans, denial-of-service attacks, packet tracking, and unsolicited spam.

Microsoft Partnership

City of Paris has a corporate agreement with Microsoft, providing licenses for the entire enterprise across our range of desktop and server applications. Microsoft's Software Assurance protection ensures that all our software is up-to-date and patched with the latest versions of Windows, Windows Server, SQL, Terminal Services, and Exchange.

UCaaS Solution for Telephony

Recently, City of Paris integrated a new UCaaS (Unified Communications as a Service) technology solution to optimize telephony. This innovative solution offers a unified platform encompassing voice services, video conferencing, instant messaging, and real-time collaboration, enhancing efficiency and communication throughout the organization.

Backup Solutions

Server data backups, data replication, and server virtualization using Microsoft Server 2019 with Hyper-V are conducted through underground long-wave fiber optic cables to secure bunkers across the city, over two miles away from the data center. This redundancy ensures swift reimplementation and uptime in case of a production server loss or citywide disaster.

Hardware

The city of Paris exclusively relies on Dell Computer Corporation as its provider of computer hardware.
