Global Teamwork

The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) built its data center with R&M Australia, Syndeticom, Trilogy Network Solutions, and the global R&M Supply Chain making a record-breaking contribution.

For an authority such as the Australian Taxation Office (ATO), there can be hardly anything more critical than absolute security. Australians rely on their data to stay in the country and assume their personal information is being protected. Furthermore, digitalization is also advancing in the tax sector and the ATO thus needs future-ready facilities for hosting services.

In building a new data center, the government required a certified, independent provider, capable of taking on the project immediately and completing the data cabling within four months.

The project partners had to be able to rule out any possibility of failure from the outset. Their collective expertise, high understanding of the requirements, and collaboration led to a fast and valuable outcome. During the design process, the team worked with the ATO to finalize the design of the infrastructure and structured cabling to suit the proposed solutions.

Connectivity adapted

The ATO required a customized structured cabling solution, as per the local Government InfoSec requirements. Port density, polarity, MTP modules, and patch cords all had to be configured accordingly. Trilogy, Syndeticom, and R&M worked collaboratively to develop an innovative and suitable solution for structured cabling.

The entire R&M Supply Chain collaborated on the design and delivery process. Teams at HQ in Wetzikon and in the FO plant in Sofia organized the engineering and assembly. Together with the R&M team in Singapore, it was possible to deliver more than 500 Netscale platforms with 1,500 trays and other components punctually and in record time – despite the obstacles and challenges presented by the pandemic.

R&M’s expertise as a reliable and fast supplier for government authorities was once more successfully tested.
