SARA and Clusius College in Alkmaar have extended the contract for management of the fiber-based Wide Area Network (WAN) of the Clusius College with two years. SARA will also continue to ensure adequate security of the Internet connection of the Clusius College. For both services, SARA was 2006 selected through European procurement.

SARA has years of experience in complex high-speed Wide Area Networks, and has built a fiber network between ten sites of Clusius in the province of North Holland in 2006. From the start all locations are equipped with 1 Gpbs data connections. With this fast fiber network Clusius College is well prepared for the future, since fiber can be scaled up to higher bandwidth if required.

The Clusius College has also chosen to use the ICT facilities of the Vancis datacenter in Amsterdam, where from two fiber connections were installed to two locations of the Clusius College. The central ICT facilities of the Clusius College will be located at the Vancis datacenter.
