The
Softline company finished the project on modernization of engineering
infrastructure of
TsODA of Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology
The Softline company declares end of the project on modernization of
engineering infrastructure of TsODA of Moscow Institute of Physics and
Technology. Following the results of works the institute received the modern
data-processing center possessing big computing capacities. The new platform
differs in the increased energy
efficiency, reliability and scalability.
The federal public autonomous educational institution of higher
education "Moscow
Institute of Physics and Technology (the state university)" (MFTI) carries
out interdisciplinary target training of highly qualified specialists and conducts scientific researches
in various areas
of modern science and equipment.
The data-processing center of MFTI is a kernel of information systems of
institute. The computing capacities collected in a data-center are used as the
systems intended for the
physical modeling and calculations connected with scientific and educational activity, and office appendices, such as mail and
communications, management of IT infrastructure, accounts department, etc.
Earlier many faculties and MFTI chairs had own servers, each of which
was supported by forces of local experts. It threatened reliability and fault
tolerance of work of the equipment, "washed away" responsibility for
result, was economically inefficient.
The management of institute made the decision on consolidation of
computing capacities of separate
faculties and chairs in uniform TsOD for the purpose of providing requirements
of reliability, availability, safety and controllability of IT structure and
depreciation of possession. However the existing data-center from the point of
view of engineering infrastructure could not provide reliable functioning of the equipment
which was planned to place in it. Therefore in MFTI the decision on
modernization of TsOD for its reduction in compliance to modern requirements from the point of view of
power, reliability and fault tolerance, and also for a possibility of
installation of more power-intensive IT equipment was made.
The Softline company and MFTI are connected by long partnership in
various IT directions. Quality of implementation of the project and reliable
reputation of the performer was a priority for the customer. The technical
solution presented to Softline on modernization of TsOD was recognized as the
best following the results of the tender. As a result of Softline acted as a
general contractor of this project.
At modernization of a data-center of MFTI the latest development in the
field of power supply, conditioning and communication technologies was used. During the
project the following subsystems were modernized:
·
system of distribution of power supply and
uninterrupted power supply;
·
central air;
·
the structured cable system;
·
the automated system of dispatching
management.
The created engineering infrastructure of TsOD is constructed on the
basis of modular components (interline conditioners, chiller, the UPS, cable system, automatic
equipment controlers). Such
principle allows to provide the current needs of the customer and does not
demand use of the excess expensive equipment. The new architecture of a
data-center of MFTI is characterized by unique reliability, high energy
efficiency and easy possibility of scaling.
After completion of works on supply of equipment and installation of
engineering systems documentation
made according to all requirements of state standard specification was provided
to the customer. The document allowed to test operability of all subsystems
and to be convinced of their full readiness.
IT specialists of MFTI filled the created data-center with server,
communication and other necessary
equipment and brought into commercial operation. Work in actual practice showed
that TsOD meets all necessary requirements from the point of view of power, reliability and fault
tolerance.
Upon termination of the project the Softline company assumed obligations
on five-year-old guarantee and to
service as the equipment installed within the contract, and APC conditioners which were available for the
customer.
Yury Shkandybin, the chief of TsOD MFTI, so commented on project
results: "Creation of engineering infrastructure of a data-center – the
complex challenge demanding harmonious work of experts of several engineering areas. I consider that
we were not mistaken, having entrusted this responsible project of the Softline
company. The institute received the modern TsOD which ensured functioning of the computing
capacities which are available for MFTI and having a stock for their building in the order.
Acceptance tests showed compliance of the engineering equipment to our requirements, and the agreement on
five years' service guarantees us
long operability of a data-center".
"MFTI is a higher education institution which owing to the
educational tasks – preparation of highly qualified personnel for the IT market – is urged "to
maintain reputation" and independently to form for IT branch standards in the field of
innovation and reliability
of infrastructure. For this reason quality of the created decision interested the
customer first of all. And the Softline offer based on the latest technological development in the field
of power supply and conditioning caused the greatest interest, – Natalya
Morozova, the head of sales department of decisions in public sector of the
Softline company told. – This
project was interesting to us by the scale, possibility of application and
integration of the unique customized decisions and realization of a complex of
services in interests of one customer. The impressive result is reached: MFTI
received the functional complex of high-class engineering systems which is
completely meeting not only to the current requirements of higher education
institution, but also long-term plans of development of its infrastructure".
