- Describes a London NOC, from a 2019 job advert.
- Weakness 1 (25 words max)
- Janet is an IP connection to a research backbone, not an MPLS or IP VPN service.
- Weakness 2 (25 words max)
- Availability figures conflict, 99.95% per link on one page and 99.7% on the G-Cloud listing.
- Weakness 3 (25 words max)
- Its G-Cloud listing says it does not connect to public sector networks.
- Buyer size fit (comma separated: Large global enterprise, Mid-market, Small business)
- Mid-market, Large global enterprise
- Verdict (40 words max; must include one figure from the fact sheets and the review month)

- Notes
- Legal name and number are a Companies House name match only. Contracting entity, parent, type, URLs and Ofcom status not yet reviewed. Check whether Jisc sells IP VPN to UK businesses at all, as it serves education and research. This may be an exclusion. Re-check 2026-10-02 (page-reader wording, confirm on the page): the PSC is Jisc (05747339). Jisc is a research and education network. The catalogue lists Janet IP (an internet and access service), Intersite (point-to-point dedicated fibre), managed router and managed SD-WAN; no MPLS or IP VPN product was found, so Layer 3 IP VPN is Not found. govroam is a roaming service, not PSN, so PSN is left out. The 600+ figure is peerings, not PoPs. Managed SD-WAN uses a Fortinet FortiGate 7081-F2 headend with BT and Fortinet. Janet SLA is a monthly availability target; new connection lead time 90 business days. Decide whether Jisc belongs on an MPLS shortlist. Cells filled on 2026-10-02 from the outside research pass are Partial unless the re-check confirmed them. Not found means the pass searched and saw nothing, not that it does not exist. Verify each against its source row, then set Decision.
