The heart of #OSE
DC Praga Pn. is also the central node of the National Educational Network OSE, which provides schools with access to fast, free and safe Internet. This means that all connections and systems that affect the entire OSE network meet in DC Praga Pn. The infrastructure located in the data center at the next stages will also provide other elements of the project, such as applications, services, e-books. The first stage of the OSE project is to connect all schools in Poland to a fast, safe and free Internet, which according to the plan should take place by the end of 2020. More than 3,000 schools are already using the network connected within the OSE project, and more than 3,000 other schools have all their installations installed and will also be using this service in the nearest future. The next stage is the introduction of services, teaching aids and applications which, thanks to the infrastructure located in DC Praga Pn., will meet the highest security standards.
