Time in every fault and risk in every change. Tangled cables trap heat, hide loose connections and force the engineer to trace wires by hand. Without labelling, the network only works as long as whoever built it is around to explain it. With method, interventions get shorter, patching errors disappear and the network grows without dismantling what is already there. ## What is in place when the work is done? | Element | Result for the business | | --- | --- | | Wall-mounted or floor-standing rack | Sized for current connections and expected growth | | Patch panels | Structured cabling terminated in an orderly way | | Cable management | Guides, trunking and Velcro, with no tangles | | Power | Rack PDUs and UPS against cuts and surges | | Labelling | Cables, ports and equipment labelled to a single standard | | Documentation | Rack diagram and connection map handed to the client | ## How is the work done without stopping operations? - **Site visit:** measurements, inventory and requirements. - **Proposal:** designed solution, materials and a fixed price. - **Execution:** work scheduled in agreed windows so the team keeps working. - **Close-out:** testing, certification, documentation, warranty and follow-up. ## What quality standard can you expect? - **Security from the first cable:** VLANs, segmentation and best practice applied in the rack itself. - **Standards and certification:** Cabling and equipment installed and tested to standard. - **Dates kept:** Realistic planning and delivery as agreed. - **Continuity:** The same team designs, builds, maintains and expands. Experience matters: 11 years in the market, 232 clients, more than 138 sites and 1,321 Ubiquiti devices under management and the Top 5% PME distinction awarded by scoring.pt.

The network is then managed by us under an IT Unlimited contract, from €395/month + VAT. We do not do one-off jobs or sell standalone equipment: we take responsibility for the whole environment. ## Where do we work? Headquartered in Alfragide, with support across Portugal. In Greater Lisbon we are regularly on site in Lisbon and Parque das Nações, Oeiras, Cascais, Sintra, Amadora, Odivelas, Loures, Vila Franca de Xira, Almada, Barreiro and Setúbal. Remote support is immediate wherever you are. ## Questions decision-makers ask ### Can you reorganise a rack that is already in production? Yes, DataRoad reorganises live racks with minimal disruption. The work is phased and scheduled in windows agreed with the company, so each device is offline for as short a time as possible. We redo terminations, install patch panels, tidy the cabling and label everything. At the end we test every connection before handing the network back to the team. ### How much does it cost to organise a network rack? The price is fixed in the proposal after the site visit, because it depends on the number of connections, the state of the cabling and the power required. The work sits within an IT Unlimited contract, from €395/month + VAT, which covers maintenance of the network once installed. We do not do one-off jobs or sell standalone equipment. ### What size of rack do we need? The right size comes from the survey: we count connections, switches, firewall, servers and UPS and leave room to grow. A wall-mounted rack serves many offices; technical rooms with servers call for a floor-standing rack. We size for the years ahead, not just for today, so the rack does not need replacing at the first expansion. ### Is the rack protected against power failures? Yes, rack PDUs and a UPS protect the equipment against power cuts and surges. The UPS gives switches, firewall and servers time not to shut down abruptly during a short outage. Its capacity is chosen according to the actual load measured during the visit, and power becomes part of network monitoring. ### What documentation do we receive? You receive the rack diagram and the connection map, with every port and cable identified. That documentation is yours and is the basis for any future maintenance or expansion. Any engineer, in-house or external, understands in minutes what is connected to what, which shortens every intervention and reduces the risk of errors. ### Do you carry out periodic rack checks? Yes, periodic rack inspection can be part of the network maintenance agreement under IT Unlimited. We check connections, temperature, the UPS and labelling after every change. That way the order achieved during the project lasts for years, instead of being lost at the first equipment swap. ## Further reading [structured cabling with warranty](https://www.dataroad-it.com/en/structured-cabling-installation/) · [Wi-Fi site survey](https://www.dataroad-it.com/en/wifi-site-survey-greater-lisbon/) · [business Wi-Fi in Greater Lisbon](https://www.dataroad-it.com/en/business-wifi-lisbon-managed-unifi-wifi-7/) · [managed IT in Lisbon](https://www.dataroad-it.com/en/premium-365-lisbon-24-7-managed-it/) · [choosing between CAT5e, CAT6 and CAT6A](https://www.dataroad-it.com/en/cat5e-cat6-cat6a-structured-cabling/) · [planning the network for a new office](https://www.dataroad-it.com/en/new-office-network-infrastructure-plan/) · [when to modernise the network](https://www.dataroad-it.com/en/ageing-network-infrastructure-modernisation/) ## Next step: a rack you can read in seconds Book a site visit and receive a written proposal, with no commitment.
