FOI - Devices Connecting to IT Networks

Ref: Request for information – Devices Connecting to IT Networks

Dear Sir/Madam,

We are hoping you may be able to help us gain an understanding of the number of individual devices connected to your networks. As such, please could you share your recent records under the Freedom of Information Act 2000?

Could you kindly please send through:

Any records associated with the number of individual devices with an IP address connecting to the IT networks associated with Greater London Authority each month from April 2016 until the present. We do not want any information that could be used to identify individual devices. However, it would be great if you could include a breakdown of how many devices of each type are connected if this information is available. A suggested breakdown for consideration is: Desktop computers, laptops, smartphones, printers, routers, servers, other.

In our request, devices refers to any technology that connects to the network via a wired or wireless IP connection. This will include desktop pcs and laptops as well as Internet of Things (IoT) devices such as smartphones, tablets, e-readers, projectors, media players and anything else with an IP address that connects to networks owned/managed by Greater London Authority. Similarly, ‘IT networks’ refers to wired and wireless connections owned by Greater London Authority.

It would be much appreciated if you could share the records in a suitable Microsoft-compatible electronic format such as PDF, Word or Excel – whichever works best for you, and the data being displayed.
