Network details in the project of equipment of a campus of the Higher school of management

On July 9, 2015 the ARIA company announced participation in the project of creation of engineering infrastructure of buildings within reconstruction of the palace and park ensemble "Mikhaylovsky Giving" intended for placement of a new campus of the Saint Petersburg State University Graduate School of Management.

Project Tasks

The concept of creation of a country campus on the basis of palace and park ensemble "Mikhaylovsky Giving" assumes adaptation of the available historical buildings and the territory of the park under needs of business school of the 21st century taking into account requirements imposed to infrastructure of the leading world centers of training of professional managers.

Project Progress

The ARIA company executed complex design of engineering infrastructure 19 body of the campus, carried out works on reconstruction and construction 16 the engineering systems of the Konyushenny body — the main educational building, the economic body and the multifunction student's center.

Specialists of ARIA equipped a campus with life support systems, security, communications, automation. For each of systems algorithms of different operation modes are developed and debugged.

Project Results

Dispatching system covers all body and provides data collection and processing, the notification of personnel on duty about functioning of the engineering, telecommunication, computing and multimedia equipment, the modes of their work, about faults and malfunctions.

"For the purpose of increase in efficiency of perception of a training material the system of ensuring educational process which includes the most modern technological solutions is created. A system is a unique development of ARIA company. The main objective of a system — achievement of the highest rates of assimilation of a training material at the expense of modern intelligent multimedia solutions and also full automation of planning processes and the organization of educational activity, research and administrative work — Dmitry Rogulin, the project manager of ARIA company told. — We developed ten standard solutions on equipment of audiences the necessary equipment. Use algorithms are developed for each type of audiences, proceeding from its appointment and the number of listeners".

In the main academic  ^{building more than 20 thousand sq.m} audiences, offices and a conference room for 450 places accommodated. In the economic body of a campus specialists of ARIA company designed and are constructed a data processing center, the central dispatching office, campus life support systems.

The multifunction student's ^{center nearly 5 thousand sq.m} contained in itself the dining room and a zone of leisure with the multifunction hall on 350 places equipped with the multimedia equipment for light, sound and visual maintenance of conferences, concerts and other actions. All premises are equipped with automatic and manual adjustment of climate, the system of the security and fire warning.

Igor Nikiforov, the CEO of ARIA company, noted the special importance of the project for the company:

• Participation in the project, so sign for the city, which is especially connected with the educational industry i.e. directly with our future — a great honor to ARIA. Construction of engineering infrastructure is one of the key directions of our activity. At the first stage of the project we took part in development of the concept of school of business school of the St. Petersburg university. What it should be? What technical means and the equipment are necessary for training of managers of tomorrow what conditions need to be created? The design stage was the following. And here now before us the full-fledged operating object constructed by the principle of the intellectual building and corresponding to current global trends in a segment of creation of high-organized educational institutions. The higher school of management of SPbSU is worthy to take the place among the leading schools of management not only in Russia, but also in the world.

Network component of the project

On August 31, 2015 the Cisco company announced use of solutions of the company at construction of intellectual infrastructure of a campus.

In its basis a campus network on the platform of solutions Cisco and a data processing center, on the Cisco UCS platform.

In audiences and lecture halls of the Saint Petersburg State University Graduate School of Management the systems of a video conferencing Cisco providing video conference in the mode of virtual meetings "face to face" are unrolled. Servers for joint work of Cisco integrate multilateral video and voice conferences, joint work with content in one call.

In a campus of the Saint Petersburg State University Graduate School of Management the promotional and informational Cisco Digital Signage panels for the publication of interactive content and management are set to them. Using promotional and informational panels students, teachers and visitors will be able to study information on business school, the planned seminars, lectures, to learn the lesson schedule and to obtain other useful information. Panels are set on all building. Information management, displayed, is performed through network.

In the territory of a campus the wireless network from access points of Cisco AIR-LAP1042N-R-K9 works. By means of Wi-Fi employees, students and visitors receive services of network access. Safe use of network is provided by intrusion prevention systems of Cisco IPS4270-20-K9 and Cisco ASA 5585-S20-K8, the Cisco ASA 5585-SEC-PL firewall. Network management is exercised using the Cisco AIR-CT5508-100-K9 controller and the Cisco PRIME-NCS-APL-K9 system.

High performance, stable work and scalability of network are provided by the backbone routers Cisco. In case of breakdown or accident the network will automatically be reorganized and will continue to work. Processing and information storage are executed by a data processing center. The Cisco switch N5KUK9-521N1.1B controls connection of servers and other devices, balances loading.

The IP telephony subsystem constructed based on the solution Cisco Unified Communications Manager will provide access to telephone communication to employees and the management of the Saint Petersburg State University Graduate School of Management. In a campus the IP phones Cisco CP-6921-C-K9, CP-7915, CP-7925G-E-K9, CP-7925G-SW-K9-E, CP-7942G, CP-7962G and the CP-7937G conference station are used.

"Thanks to solutions of Cisco students and teachers of "The higher school of management" of St. Petersburg State University got access to basic services without which work of a modern campus is impossible. Use of the latest technologies will promote improving competitiveness of business school, efficiency of educational process and improvement of quality of education. Besides, students and teachers will be able to work in the unique information and communication environment which is based on the solutions applied by the leading world companies" — Ilya Gorbunov, the Chief information officer of SPbSU noted.
