This document summarizes an IT infrastructure project for a new business center building. It describes designing and implementing systems for networking, servers, storage, virtualization, and a data center. Over 1000 users are supported through voice, data, security, and video monitoring systems connected through fiber and Cisco technologies. The data center meets TIA-942 standards with 300 servers, over 50TB of RAM, 2PB of storage, and a virtualization platform supporting over 10,000 virtual machines. IT Professional was responsible for all aspects of planning, designing, implementing, testing, and maintaining the complex IT systems for the new building.
Managing Complex IT Systems for Large Organizations
1. Our Portfolio
Greenfield Project
Integra Business Center and RTRS TV Station head quarters
Large organizations, with multiple locations across the country, require a strategic approach to managing their resources to
gain efficiencies by driving down and controlling costs .Today's high-tech buildings comprise a plethora of sophisticated
systems to control everything from heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) to security, fire protection and access
control. For that reason IT Professional was involved in this project from start. We have planned, designed and
implemented all aspects of: telephone,
power, network, fire alarm, video
monitoring and access control systems.
Through a single point of contact, we
provide services to positively impact IT
utilization, voice and data traffic, access
control, video monitoring and more.
When Integral company decided to build
its new Business Center in Banja Luka
multinational building firm set some lofty
goals. The new building had to reflect
the company's core beliefs in innovation,
transparency and collaboration. It had to
give its customers high level of control
over personal space. Stemming from our experience and lean methodology, our services on the project include:
Project design Design of all communication, voice and data ports. Design of data center, security systems and IP video
monitoring. Implementation All data, voice, security, IPTV ports are terminated on each floor in IDF rooms then
connected to central Data Center using fiber and latest technology and industry practices. IP Video and access control
systems implemented in cooperation with our vendors, industry leaders, Axis and Paxton. Centralised, redundant, VoIP
system from our partner Cisco, was implemented using Cisco unified messaging platform 7.2 for over 1000 users.
Redundant computer network, centraly aggrigated, based on Cisco L3 Catalyst 4500 Series Switches. Centrilized internet
access using Cisco 7600 series routers.
Testing All the installation work was tested, and well documented.
Data Center
Designed and implemented according to TIA-942 standard.
