• Designed and implemented network infrastructure across office and production facilities
• Deployed solutions for automating production processes and corporate communications
• Integrated Big Data, cloud services, cybersecurity, and video surveillance systems
• Leveraged modern technologies: Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Fortinet, VMware, Veeam, McAfee, Microsoft Solutions, APC, Molex
• Coordinated subcontractors and maintained quality control throughout all implementation stages

Business Value:

The new data center became the technological backbone for the holding's sustainable development. 

The company gained:

• More efficient and transparent operations
• Reduced operational and infrastructure risks
• Stronger protection of digital assets
• A solid foundation for future business growth and digital transformation

How the Solution Was Implemented

The project was implemented in stages, with a focus on process transparency and strict quality control.

• Step 1: Audit of current systems and processes. A comprehensive assessment of business workflows and IT infrastructure requirements was conducted, identifying vulnerabilities and risks.
• Step 2: Infrastructure model design. The target architecture of the data center and data networks was defined using Composable Infrastructure and Cloud Choice approaches to ensure flexibility and scalability.
• Step 3: Data center construction. A fault-tolerant data center was built, featuring synchronized systems to ensure continuous operation.
• Step 4: Deployment of automation and security systems. Solutions for production automation, data management, and employee communication were implemented, along with the integration of cybersecurity tools.
• Step 5: Development planning. A roadmap was created for step-by-step expansion of computing capabilities and continued digital transformation.
