4. INFRASTRUCTURE SERVICES
We offer a complete end-to-end ICT infrastructure solution comprising several interrelated aspects. The back end would comprise server infrastructure in a data centre while the front end would be remote access work stations and end-user mobile equipment with a network in between. All this would be designed to fit the specific needs as stipulated by the customer and would include designing, scaling, building, programming, implementing, supporting and maintaining all systems in a comprehensive life cycle management program. The continuous life cycle management process would cover hardware, software and third-party supplier relationships allowing the customer to concentrate on their core business.
The back end infrastructure would comprise servers running the web and storage services on high availability and redundant equipment. This would be hosted in data centre facilities which comprise dedicated premises with secure access control in the form of guards, cameras, biometric controls and strict processing for all visitors. The data centre would have redundant power connections to the electricity grid, redundant diesel backup generators, redundant uninterrupted power supply systems and redundant power distribution within the hosting environment. It would also have redundant cooling with cold air hot air isle separation and environmental monitoring. The servers and networking equipment would be placed in cabinets on a raised floor under which power cables and cold air would be distributed. Networking would be via cable trays above the cabinets providing connectivity to the meet me rooms where networking service providers would be hosted.
The servers would need to have the following essential capabilities to achieve high availability and redundancy. Server compute and storage nodes would have multiple processor cores, protected memory, multiple hard disks configured for automated failure recovery and multiple power supply units connected to independent power distribution and backup systems. Services would be implemented in a private cloud which in itself would have redundancy to a secondary private cloud environment and a public cloud facility as required. Building the services in a cloud environment would ensure business continuity for performance, maintenance and disaster recovery scenarios.
Security would be built into everything from physical to logical elements. Data centre facilities, equipment including servers, routers, switches, Wi-Fi access points, computers and mobile devices have strong restricted access by default. Services are end to end encrypted with both back end and front end equipment having granular access control restrictions built into biometric controls and passwords. Public-facing services will have firewalls with intrusion detection and prevention systems protecting them. Proactive cybersecurity monitoring will ensure a fast response to emerging threats and their mitigation.
Local Area Networking (LAN) equipment would comprise switches, routers and firewalls with redundant power supply units. Cable trays would allow managed cable connectivity between LAN equipment and servers as well as onward connectivity to Wide Area Networking (WAN) via the network service providers. WAN would provide connectivity between the data centre, service centre’s, call centres and the internet.
The front end systems would comprise desktop computers, laptops and tablets that would be located at service centres and with agents. The service centres would have a local area network comprising structured cabling, switches, firewall, routers and centrally managed Wi-Fi access points. Redundant WAN connectivity would link the service centres to the data centre facility.
