Project Summary :
Integrated Network Infrastructure Design and Implementation, establishing a robust and scalable system to support technical and administrative activities, including :
Project Scope :
1) Network Architecture
1.1 Core Network :
Design a core network backbone that interconnects various buildings and facilities.
1.2 Distribution Network :
Establish distribution switches to connect different offices within each building.
1.3 Access Network :
Deploy access switches and wireless access points (WAPs) to provide connectivity to end-user devices such as computers and laptops.
2) Wireless Network Infrastructure
2.1 Campus-Wide Coverage :
Design a wide wireless network infrastructure with seamless coverage and roaming capabilities.
2.2 Wi-Fi Access Points :
Deploy Wi-Fi access points (APs) in strategic locations to provide reliable connectivity indoors and outdoors.
3) Security Measures
3.1 Cybersecurity :
Implement robust security measures to protect the power plant network from cyber threats, unauthorized access, and data breaches.
3.2 Network Protection :
Deploy firewalls, intrusion detection/prevention systems (IDS/IPS), and endpoint security solutions to monitor and secure network traffic.
3.3 Access Control :
Configure access control policies, VLANs, and network segmentation to restrict access to sensitive data and resources.
4) Network Monitoring and Management
4.1 Monitoring Tools :
Implement network monitoring tools and management software to monitor the performance, availability, and security of the network infrastructure.
4.2 Management Protocols :
Use network management protocols such as SNMP to collect data, monitor network devices, and troubleshoot issues proactively.
5) Scalability and Redundancy
5.1 Scalability :
Design the network infrastructure to be scalable and adaptable to accommodate future growth in user demand, devices, and applications.
5.2 Redundancy Mechanisms :
Implement redundancy and failover mechanisms such as redundant links, backup power supplies, and redundant network devices to ensure high availability and resilience.
6) Integration with IT Services
6.1 IT Service Integration :
Integrate the network infrastructure with other IT services and systems such as email servers and administrative applications.
6.2 Interoperability :
Ensure seamless access and interoperability between network resources and IT services to support the functions of the power plant.
