Vestas: network certified link by link in Portugal

A network can connect every computer and still fall short of what the installed category promises. The problem only shows up later, as unexplained slowness or intermittent faults. A multinational does not accept that risk. In 2023, Vestas, of Danish origin and the world's largest wind turbine manufacturer, entrusted DataRoad - IT Services and Consulting with the certification of its network infrastructure in Portugal: a complete technical survey and measurement of every structured cabling link.

Why does a multinational demand a certified network?

Vestas develops, manufactures, sells and maintains wind turbines all over the world. Its operations are critical and every office must meet group standards. "It seems to work" is not enough: proof is required.

Certification measures every point with calibrated equipment and compares the values with the limits of the standard. The output is a report per outlet, which serves as a guarantee and guides any correction. The difference between testing and certifying is explained in structured cabling certification.

How did the work unfold?

  1. Survey: a complete technical inventory of the existing infrastructure.
  2. Measurement: professional certification of every cabling link.
  3. Validation: full confirmation of performance, reliability and technical compliance.

All carried out by DataRoad's networking team. The result: greater efficiency, security and availability for Vestas's systems.

What does a company gain from certification?

  • Documentary proof The network delivers what was paid for, link by link.
  • Problems found early Latent faults identified before they cause downtime.
  • A basis for audits A report ready for head office or the auditor.
  • Warranty preserved Technical evidence for the manufacturer and the installer.

And after certification?

DataRoad is an MSP and can go on to manage the infrastructure under IT Unlimited: proactive monitoring, alerting, availability reports, unlimited remote and on-site support and preventive and corrective maintenance. 24/7 support and monitoring exist only on the Premium 365 plan.
