Quatenus elege a DataRoad para Instalação da Rede Informática do seu novo Escritório – 100 pontos de rede CAT6

For a company that sells real-time information, every minute offline is a minute in which clients can no longer see their assets. In 2019, WWIL – Quatenus entrusted DataRoad - IT Services and Consulting with the network for its new office. The result: 100 CAT6 network points, switching for all of them, a Security Gateway with dual internet connections and 5 GHz Wi-Fi AC, with every point labelled and every device configured.

Which risks did this network have to eliminate?

Two. The failure of an internet operator, which would leave the whole office at a standstill, and an unlabelled installation, which turns every fault into a hunt for the right cable. The project solved both from the ground up.

What did DataRoad install?

  • Cabling Full termination, with 100 CAT6 points.
  • Labelling Every point labelled in the rooms and at the rack.
  • Switching Network switches to serve the 100 points.
  • Redundant perimeter A Security Gateway protecting the network and failing over between two operators: if one link drops, the other keeps the office working.
  • Wi-Fi 5 GHz AC access points distributed across the space.
  • Go-live Routers, switches and other equipment connected, configured and brought into service.

What happens after installation?

The network is not left to chance. DataRoad supports the infrastructure it builds with proactive monitoring, alarms and availability reports. The team combines certifications from several manufacturers with hands-on experience in networks, security, support and IT estate management.

Thank you to Quatenus for its trust in our consultancy, installation and network management.
