Following 46 Years of analogue television creation, aggregation and transimission, delivering 24×7 News and entertainment to millions of Australians, My team led the development of Digital Television:
- Design & Constuction of Upgrades to 11 operational critical enviroments doubling the size of the floorplate, whilst integrating into the existing Transmission stacks
- Technical Transmission Stream (digital data layer) Design
- 7 Layer Design
- Network Transmission Layer systems Design
- Design & Refits to 60 spaces within 12 properties to provision for new studios, Central Technical Facilities,
- Data Centres
| Project Name | DTV Data Centre Design and Construct |
| Client Company | Network Ten |
| Project Type | Capital Project – Data Centre Build |
| Project Value | $40m |
| Project Start and Finish | Jan 2001 – June 2002 |
| Strategic Objective | Our strategic objective for the DTV Data Centre project was to design and construct a cutting-edge facility that ensures the client’s data infrastructure is scalable, secure, and aligned with industry standards, supporting their growing needs. |
| The Challenge / Need | Facing the challenge of outdated data infrastructure and a need for expanded capacity, our client, a leading media network (DTV), required a comprehensive solution. The challenge was to design and construct a state-of-the-art data centre that accommodates current requirements and allows for future growth. |
| Our Approach | Our approach involved an in-depth analysis of DTV’s existing data infrastructure, understanding their current and future needs, and collaborating closely with their IT team. We focused on scalability, security, and energy efficiency, ensuring the design met the highest industry standards. |
| Solution & Key Deliverables | Scalable Infrastructure: We designed a modular data centre infrastructure that allows for easy scalability, ensuring DTV can expand their operations without major disruptions. Advanced Security Measures: Security was a top priority. Our solution included the implementation of advanced security protocols, biometric access controls, and redundant backup systems to safeguard DTV’s critical data. Energy-Efficient Design: Recognizing the importance of sustainability, our design incorporated energy-efficient technologies, reducing the environmental impact of the data centre while minimizing operational costs. |
| Risks and Challenges | Complex Integration: Integrating the new data centre with existing systems posed challenges, but our experienced team successfully executed the integration plan, minimizing downtime. Timeline Adherence: Adhering to a strict timeline was crucial to minimize disruptions to DTV’s operations. Our project management expertise ensured timely completion. |
| Result / Outcome | Increased Data Capacity: The new data centre not only met but exceeded DTV’s immediate data capacity needs, providing room for future expansion. Enhanced Security: The advanced security measures implemented significantly improved data protection, ensuring the confidentiality and integrity of DTV’s sensitive information. |
| Our Value-Added Differentiator | Our approach involved an in-depth analysis of DTV’s existing data infrastructure, understanding their current and future needs, and collaborating closely with their IT team. We focused on scalability, security, and energy efficiency, ensuring the design met the highest industry standards. |
