About the project

KMS independently planned and built a centralized server and network infrastructure for a six-story building.

Three racks were installed — a large central rack on the first floor, a second large rack on the fourth floor and a small rack on the sixth. Floors are linked with fiber optic cable using SFP modules.

For network management and security a DrayTek firewall and Edgecore managed switches were installed and configured, VLANs created and inter-network access rules defined. The project also covered installation and configuration of servers and storage systems.

Scope clarifications

  • The central UPS and cooling were already on site — KMS did not install them.
  • A Wi-Fi VLAN was created, but installing access points was not part of this project.

Result

KMS created a centralized server and network infrastructure for the six-story building, bringing together three racks, fiber backbone links, managed network equipment, a firewall and server systems.

Network nodes on different floors now form one infrastructure, while VLAN segmentation and firewall rules provide logical network management and access control. The project covered the full cycle — from planning to final testing.
