"Zarubezhneft production of Haryaga" used the products Cisco for creation of IT infrastructure

2020: Creation of the IT platform based on the products Cisco

On March 6, 2020 the Cisco Systems company reported that the ZARUBEZHNEFT Production of Haryaga company used the products Cisco for creation of the IT platform helping to solve effectively business challenges in the conditions of Far North and also to improve a working condition and residence of oil industry workers in the polar settlement of Haryaga. Within the project for the rotational residential complex the local computer network, a corporate wireless network of data transmission were designed and partially built and also the IP telephony systems, video conferencings and the hyper convergent HyperFlex system are implemented. In 2020 works on creation of zones of industrial Wi-Fi for providing the greatest possible radio - coverings of objects of an industrial segment (well pads, subjects to preparation of oil and gas, objects of commercial oil and gas sale) are planned.

Haryaga – the settlement behind the Polar circle in the Nenets Autonomous Okrug, close to the Haryaginsky oil field, in three hours' journey from the next locality. Oil producers live and work with a shift method, in severe climatic conditions at a temperature up to-50 degrees Celsius here, long without having an opportunity to contact alive to colleagues and the family. In 2018 on Haryage construction of the rotational residential complex (RRC) which includes the residential body, the gas boiler house, a modular data processing center with the communication hub, an antenna and mast construction, office spaces and objects of engineering infrastructure began. For equipment of VZhK the reliable network solutions helping to increase efficiency of different workflows, to create the most comfortable conditions of accommodation on watch and to provide uninterrupted communications with "continent" were required.

"For creation of such infrastructure we carefully studied the offers existing in the market and made a choice for benefit of developments of Cisco company. The unrolled IT infrastructure connects VZhK both with other structural divisions of Zarubezhneft, and with dangerous industrial facilities of the field. Besides, considering the low speed of cellular data transmission in Haryage, a productive and trusted corporate wireless network – the main tool of oil producers for maintenance of communication with the family that at shift work in the Polar region is extremely important. All this allows our specialists, even being far from colleagues and families, to work in the uniform transparent and managed IT environment", 'Oleg Brytkov, the head of department of metrology, automation, communication and IT of ZARUBEZHNEFT Production of Haryaga LLC noted'

In the project progress for VZhK the local computer network and a wireless network of data transmission on a basis switches Cisco Catalyst 3850, routers Cisco ISR4331 and wireless was built access points Cisco Aironet. Safety was ensured firewalls Cisco Firepower series 2000 and 2100, the system of a video conferencing is constructed using Cisco TelePresence MX800 platform. For ensuring smooth functioning of controllers of a wireless network, subsystems information security and other virtualized services the hyper convergent Cisco HyperFlex platform is used. Effective interaction of staff of VZhK is provided by means of videophones Cisco WirelessIP Phone 8851.

Within project 2020-21gg. on creation of industrial Wi-Fi creation of necessary infrastructure for implementation of perspective IT initiatives of ZARUBEZHNEFT Production of Haryaga company is planned: "Digital technologist", "Personnel monitoring system", "Digital worker".

"This project – an illustration of how the solutions Cisco promote processes of digital transformation and help people to live and work with extreme conditions. In the conditions of the Polar region the reliable corporate IT platform becomes especially important: for oil producers of Haryagi it is a basis of a set of projects in the field of digitalization of an asset", 'Nikita Gorbachevsky, the senior manager of Cisco on work with corporate clients 'noted
