on the case Dairy data
NextiraOne has signed a contract to deliver two new state-of-the-art data centres for yogurt manufacturer, Müller Dairy. The project has been designed with clear environmental considerations in mind, and includes carbon reducing technologies for cooling and power supply in two new dedicated facilities. As a member of the Carbon Trust and with awards for Environment Best Practice, Müller Dairy
wanted a partner that could demonstrate a strong awareness of possible environmental impact of ICT decisions and the ability to provide a solution that would deliver clear environmental benefi ts. NextiraOne’s Intelligent Business Services Division designed,
planned, project managed and implemented the complete overhaul of two data centre environments for Müller Dairy, at its UK headquarters and dairy in Market Drayton, Shropshire. The new data centre infrastructure has extended existing facilities, which have remained operational throughout the project. The aim of the new data centres is to maintain and improve
system availability as Müller Dairy’s demands on its ICT continue to grow. Under the contract, NextiraOne’s Intelligent Building Services
Division has carried out a phased implementation, extending and refurbishing one room at a time, so that the business critical operations of the dairy could continue throughout.
School project
South West Communications Group has recently been awarded a sizable contract to provide a wireless, ICT rich environment that could be a blueprint for schools and colleges in the future. The Exeter based fi rm has designed an Alcatel-Lucent multimedia network for voice, data, video, CCTV and digital signage for Bideford College. The network comprises a local area network and a wide ranging Wi-Fi solution. South West Communications Group’s specialist engineering team has already begun the installation process at the college’s brand new £44m building that is set to be completed before the start of the new academic year. The new wired data network will connect all 200-plus staff and more than 1,600 students with access to full multimedia content, such as video streaming and audio visual presentations, providing the latest tools for interactive, modern day teaching and learning. However, it is the campus wide wireless Wi-Fi solution that will give the students the ability to roam the site, both inside the building and outside in its grounds, giving them access to college resources from laptops and mobile enabled Wi-Fi devices, such as iPhones and iPads.
Space programme
Siemon has installed a Category 5e UTP system as part of an infrastructure upgrade at aerospace insurer, Global Aerospace. Global Aerospace has 10 offi ces strategically located around the world and its headquarters sit in the centre of the insurance and banking market in London. When Global Aerospace moved into its two
story offi ce 16 years ago Category 5 cabling was already in place and served well until two years ago, when the company invested in upgrading much of its hardware. It needed its network infrastructure to support gigabit speeds, but those on the front line of customer delivery were experiencing dropped packages. The resultant resends meant that the system as a whole was downgraded to 100Mb. The Category 5 foundation was letting down the entire IT network and an upgrade was essential to capitalise on the investment already made. Category 6 was originally considered to be the solution, but when trusted suppliers CCS Media introduced the installation company, NetCare, the decision makers realised that a Siemon Category 5e system would supply all the necessary capacity and at a much more competitive price.
Faster – better – worldwide.
