Court data network disruptions attributed to single operator issues

Court workers encounter persistent network issues with the judicial system's information network, hindering daily operations; the Ministry of Justice attributes the problem to the system operator, who relies on a backup system that is also malfunctioning.

Court data network disruptions attributed to single operator issues

Rewritten Article:

Looks like the Judicial Employees' Union is sounding the alarm about certain court system issues! They've pointed fingers at MEO, the data network operator for the courts, alleging a 'failure.' The Institute for Financial Management and Justice Equipment (IGFEJ), in a statement to Lusa through the Ministry of Justice, confirmed this 'failure,' attributing it to MEO.

Now, what's the deal with this 'failure'? Well, according to IGFEJ, it's causing some serious data traffic slowness, but thankfully no information is lost.

Here's where things get interesting — the Ministry of Justice has jumped into the fray, sharing that they already have a game plan underway, part of the Recovery and Resilience Program (PRR), which is currently in the contracting phase. The idea is to avoid relying on a single telecom operator for both regular and backup circuits.

Hey, did you know this upcoming contract is gonna boost the network capacity for 884 justice sites and double it for the two data centers? Talking serious upgrades here!

IGFEJ has shared that this new contract will significantly enhance the network's speed and redundancy. Plus, it's crucial to put those PRR investments in network security, equipment renewal, and Wi-Fi access points into full action. Bye-bye to those pesky network constraints since Friday!

It's worth noting that we've had a power outage recently across the Iberian Peninsula, and the courts in Portugal had to shutter their virtual doors. However, search results are light on specifics regarding the current status of the court's information systems and how the PRR plans to tackle these issues. Seems like we'll have to stay tuned for updates on that front!

(Enrichment Data: A recent power outage in Spain and Portugal affected various systems, including courts, raising concerns about the resilience of the court's information systems. The aftermath of this power outage and its potential impact on courts' information systems are not clarified in the search results.)

  1. What about the alleged 'failure' in the court system's data network? The Institute for Financial Management and Justice Equipment (IGFEJ) suggests it's due to MEO, causing data traffic slowness but no information loss.
  2. With the Recovery and Resilience Program (PRR) underway, the Ministry of Justice is aiming to avoid relying on a single telecom operator for both regular and backup circuits in the court system. This new contract will reportedly boost network capacity for 884 justice sites and double it for the two data centers, leading to significant enhancements in network speed and redundancy.
  3. IGFEJ has emphasized the need to invest PRR funds in network security, equipment renewal, and Wi-Fi access points to mitigate the 'constraints' in the court system's technology and improve recovery from potential future incidents, such as power outages.
Technology glitches disrupt court operations today, with judicial workers citing persistent network issues in the IT system, stalling their duties. The Ministry of Justice has placed the blame on the service provider, citing the outdated infrastructure that is intertwined with the problem.
