No-obligation proposal. # Boost Portugal: three spaces on one network, with no downtime At a glance For decision-makers short on time. - 01 2017: Boost Portugal moves to a larger office without switching off the old one. - 02 Two interconnected racks, CAT6, 6 Gigabit switches and around 12 access points. - 03 Wireless bridge to a third space, firewall, NAS, UPS and a 20-channel IP PBX. - 04 DataRoad had already built the old office's network and the partnership continued. ### In this article An office expansion that halts operations, even for a day, costs sales and reputation. In 2017, **Boost Portugal** needed to grow into a larger space without switching off the old one, and to connect a third office as well. It called on DataRoad - IT Services and Consulting again, which had already built the old network. We delivered a single **network infrastructure** for all three sites: CAT6, two interconnected racks, business Wi-Fi, firewall, NAS, UPS and an IP PBX phone system. ## Who is Boost Portugal? Founded in 2008, it combines tourist activities, alternative mobility and technology. It operates in Portugal, Spain and the US, manages 12 tourist activity brands and reaches more than 600,000 people worldwide each year. At that pace, IT has to keep up with every growth spurt without holding any of them back. ## What problem needed solving? Three spaces, one company. The new office had to work linked to the old one, already set up by DataRoad, and a third space had to join the same network via a wireless bridge. The two racks needed to communicate securely and with capacity for the future. And all of this without interrupting daily work. | Item | Value | | --- | --- | | Client | Boost Portugal | | Activity | Tourist activities (businesses and offices) | | Scope | Structured cabling, business Wi-Fi, firewall and security, servers and infrastructure, IT Unlimited support, VoIP | | Year | 2017 | ## Which figures define the project? - **2 racks** Installed and interconnected. - **6 Gigabit switches** At the core of the network. - **Around 12 access points** Wi-Fi coverage for the new space. - **1 wireless bridge** To the additional office. - **20 channels** On the IP PBX phone system. ## How did we build the network for the three spaces? After a detailed survey, DataRoad's networking team carried out the project on four fronts. **Physical layer.** CAT6 cable and network points throughout the office, cable trunking, floor towers and power sockets. Two racks linked together, with rack-mounted UPS to protect power and ensure continuity. **Wi-Fi and perimeter.** Six Gigabit switches, a business firewall configured to measure, around 12 access points and a wireless bridge link to the third space. Staff and visitors were placed on separate networks. **Data.** A business NAS now centralises files. We migrated data and permissions and took the opportunity to reorganise the folder structure. **Voice.** A 20-channel IP PBX, IP DECT phones for moving around the space and integrated softphones. ## What did Boost Portugal gain? An organised, secure network ready to grow, in which the old office, the new one and the additional space operate as a single infrastructure. The partnership continued: the contract with DataRoad later added remote monitoring, availability reporting and IT Unlimited support. We thank Boost Portugal for once again entrusting us with network installation, Wi-Fi, consultancy and infrastructure maintenance. ## Why do growing companies choose DataRoad?
