5 PHYSICAL INFRASTRUCTURE Connecture has over 30 years combined experience of many types of cabling installation projects, across different environments. Every type of building depends on a structured cabling system. This provides the backbone and connectivity for all IT networking and voice systems, all converged IT systems, as well as many building and facility services. We design, plan and install bespoke cabling systems across a variety of premises and industries, including: general office spaces, university campus environments, schools, hospitals, nursing homes, warehouses, factories and chemical plants. Our installations range from a small number of outlets within a single building, to large, campus-wide networks supporting thousands of endpoints and devices.

STRUCTURED CABLING A solid network infrastructure is the foundation of every highperformance network. Structured cabling should be a key component of your infrastructure.

6 STRUCTURED CABLING A solid network infrastructure is the foundation of every highperformance network. Structured cabling should be a key component of your infrastructure. In our experience, critical cabling requirements and dependencies are not always realised soon enough within the project definition stage. This frequently leads to unnecessary risks and delays plus increased expenditure. And what s more, recent statistics claim that over 50% of network outages are caused at the physical layer, due to poor installation techniques or sub-standard cabling. This can be frustrating when the cabling infrastructure within your organisation, should serve you for ten years or more which is considerably longer than the rest of your network equipment. Over this period of time, the demands on your IT services are likely to dramatically increase. That s why it s important to make sure your cabling infrastructure is scalable and flexible. We ll advise and guide you and your team through the challenges of this complex area of physical device and cabling provision. Our experience covers: design, installation, terminating and testing. Our solutions include: Cat6, Cat6a and Cat7a (shielded and un-shielded) structured cabling systems, optical fibre and wireless systems all depending on your environment and requirements.

11 We offer a wide range of monitoring and fault diagnosis solutions. These will safeguard your infrastructure quality and in turn, reduce your data risk. POWER AND ENVIRONMENTAL We ll help you: Minimise power usage/improve cooling Increase power reliability Decrease your carbon footprint Alongside the delivery of reliable power to the network environment, local power monitoring protection and/or management is a key concern to data centre managers. There s a real need to monitor environmental conditions, power utilisation, prevent the unauthorised use of power outlets, reboot locked-up equipment, and prevent current in-rush and overloaded feeds.

12 UPS INSTALLATIONS Connecture has experience installing uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) throughout the UK. We install power circuits to equipment racks to supply the UPS and keep your network protected from spikes, surges and power failure allowing your active equipment to undergo a controlled shut down. Larger UPS require professional installation and commissioning services by suitably qualified and experienced engineers. Our project team will work with you from engagement to completion, and make sure your installation is commissioned safely, on time and to budget, with minimal disruption. We carry out site surveys, taking into consideration available access, space and floor loadings. We then arrange shipment and placement, making all the necessary arrangements for any access or lifting equipment. We also provide electrical and mechanical services when requested.

18 BUILDINGS AND SPACE OPTIMISATION MENU One long-standing problem most organisations have in common, is how to improve and monitor the real-time utilisation of their existing buildings, work spaces and resources. This applies across the board, from estates to IT, and includes accommodation, staff, services and activities. We re all aware that effective management of space can bring multiple benefits. From improving employee or student experiences, and optimising facility services, to reducing carbon footprints and overheads, through the elimination of unnecessary heating and lighting costs. By understanding how people move through the building and when, we can start to understand and leverage solutions to optimise the building footprint, reduce overheads and eliminate wasted time and resources. This includes: Managing unused space, via wireless and positioning sensors Optimising for new trends, via apps and instantaneous data Restructuring occupancy, establishing exactly how areas are being utilised Reducing waste, maximising efficiency and cutting costs Making maintenance efficiencies, prioritising tasks via real-time and predictive insights

19 CONNECTED, INTELLIGENT LIGHTING Lighting has a huge impact on our health, well-being and productivity. Many of us spend up to 90% of our time indoors meaning we re profoundly affected by artificial light, which in turn, can dramatically affect our body s natural rhythm. Well lit, attractive environments can lead to increased alertness and activity, as well as promoting recovery and relaxation. Access to daylight is not always possible in every workplace, but artificial light with controllable colours and intensity, can help to replicate the benefits provided by natural light. Benefits: Energy saving recent technological advances in artificial lighting, have resulted in cost savings of up to 80%, compared to more conventional and traditional lighting. Transformation of the working environment, creating ambience with dynamic, flicker-free lighting. Personalised workspaces, enhancing the comfort, productivity and safety of your employees. System integration we can help to connect your lighting with a variety of building management systems. Measurable performance and insight, through real-time data on status, operations and efficiency. Reduced maintenance costs, through centralised controls and drivers.

20 We focus on cost effective, highly resilient and innovative surveillance technology that is user friendly, flexible and scalable. Used effectively, these systems become invaluable business tools and operational assets as opposed to just simple security systems or facilities. Historically, security solutions operated on their own infrastructure, but recently these have migrated onto the corporate data network. Also, where most systems were installed and managed locally, they re now centrally managed and monitored. This creates several advantages including: IP SURVEILLANCE Flexible, highly adaptable, modular systems Improved ROI by utilising your existing network infrastructure The ability to control and monitor multiple sites centrally, with event activated management Seamless integration with other systems Providing you with valuable intelligence on your building, through analytics A clearly defined upgrade path Environmentally friendly reduced cabling and power installation requirements

21 MENU ACCESS CONTROL An access control system is an effective and convenient way of securing your building and assets. Choosing the right system helps to mitigate risk and allows operations to continue when security issues arise. Our systems provide live monitoring, and offer time and attendance plug-ins, fire lists and traceability, along with alerting mechanisms for exceptions, forced doors, and continual unauthorised access attempts. By providing flexible and cost effective alternatives to keys IP swipe and proximity cards, keypads and biometric solutions can restrict access to controlled doors, zones and time periods all through a simple to use, software application. Many businesses are migrating from the traditional analogue system, to IP-based solutions, simply because it offers increased security, operational efficiency and better availability. This shift reflects recent changes in the CCTV and analytics marketplace.

22 MENU PROJECT MANAGEMENT Our project managers will take responsibility for all aspects of the installation. They will work with the pre-sales engineers to design the solution and plan the implementation process. Once resources are arranged, project deployment can begin. As your infrastructure partner, it s our responsibility to forge strong working relationships with stakeholders, and to minimise disruption to anyone involved in, or affected by the implementation. Most projects encounter obstacles at one stage or another but the crucial test is reaching a resolution without impacting the project objectives, schedule or budget. This is achieved through effective planning, preparation and communication, to reduce risks.
