The Government Digital Service (GDS) needed to migrate a specific application to AWS while maintaining secure connectivity to the UK Government’s Public Services Network (PSN). Establishing direct PSN connectivity posed significant time and cost challenges, so GDS opted for Cloud Fundamental’s PSN-as-a-Service (PSNaaS) solution.
Key Challenges and Requirements:

Cloud Fundamental’s PSNaaS offered pre-provisioned, secure PSN connectivity without long-term commitment. The solution allows for pay-as-you-use pricing and supports flexible traffic volumes. Cloud Fundamental handled the network setup and monitoring, ensuring GDS achieved compliance and seamless access to the PSN.
Results:
The PSNaaS solution provided GDS with a flexible and cost-effective way to connect their application to the PSN, avoiding costly delays and infrastructure setup. The solution scales easily, accommodates spikes in usage, and supports low-latency connectivity to the UK’s high-performance government network.
