Passive Networks (Cabling)
Network Cabling is usually a large investment, and one of the rare areas in IT in which the assets useful lifetime is expected to pass 10 years. Although identifying a suitable category for your site is not a difficult thing, the actual design and execution can carry numerous buried problems that are hard to detect in the final testing, and are harder to repair (examples to those include sharp bends and proximity to noise sources).
We provide robust designs and close supervision on execution to make sure you get maximum benefit of this long term investment
Data Centers
Data Centers are much more complex that just a location for central equipment. They include several features and involve several supporting systems that are usually out of the scope of IT expertise. Examples include:
- Power provision and distribution (UPSs, Generator, PDUs …etc)
- Cooling (CRAC units, airflow …etc)
- Cabinet arrangement
- Raised Floors
- Structured Cabling
- Grounding and EMF issues
- Fire protection
- Physical security
Those are governed by Standards and Best Practices including: TIA/EIA 568 /569 /606 /607 /758 /942, EN50173-2/3/4/5, Tier Classification of Uptime Institute and BICSI Classes.
For current DCs and Telecom rooms we conduct auditing/assessment against the standards, and provide recommendations for improvements.
For new DCs we provide design, preparation of RFPs, proposal-evaluation and project management.
Physical Security Systems
Now surveillance cameras and physical access control are all converting to be IP based, and tend to become more and more integrated with the LAN, and moving in the scope of IT responsibilities. Bringing new challenges (examples include camera optics, access mechanisms and heavy A/V traffic).
From RFPs to Project Management and Acceptance testing, we can help you bridge this gap, and take charge of such projects from early stages.
