Task:

BFE assumed project responsibility for the planning, procurement, installation, and initial startup of the new KVM infrastructure on the newly installed supervisor bridge. Owing to the high operational requirements of the availability of the overall system, the project was completed in multiple subprojects.

Solution:

All server systems were removed from the workplace environment and stored in dedicated central apparatus rooms with the corresponding infrastructure. Despite this, flexible distribution of operation across the individual workstations was still possible. It was even possible to change assignments based on demand without any problems. The assembly, cabling, and configuration of the KVM components was completed in close collaboration with DFS.

Highlights:

• Working in close collaboration with the manufacturer, a complex and completely redundant KVM matrix system was developed and implemented with components from the company Guntermann& Drunck

• Ninety servers and PC systems can be flexibly distributed across 70 workstations

• The individual matrices are connected to the Ethernet support infrastructure via IP interface, and centrally monitored via SNMP. If necessary, configuration is also possible via web-based access

Equipment Details:

• Core system with 8 KVM matrix switches

• Flexible distribution of 90 servers and PC systems across 70 workstations

• Some workstations with dual link displays with radar data

• Connection to Ethernet support infrastructure via IP interface

• Central control via SNMP

• Optional web-based configuration
