BTP was responsible for a comprehensive IT infrastructure assessment for all City systems supporting over 800 users in 12 office locations. Disciplines included LAN/WAN, physical infrastructure, network security, network operating system, e-mail and messaging, and e-government. BTP was responsible for integrating all disciplines into a holistic IT infrastructure strategy and developed a detailed implementation roadmap, equipment lists, technical designs and associated budgets.
Project included out-of-the-ground construction of an outpatient facility in Commack, New York. Carrier services were provided from multiple entrances, including new underground conduit construction as well as aerial services. BTP designed the structured cable plant for voice, data, and video distribution to exam and treatment rooms. Having been brought into the project after the A-MEP design phase was complete, BTP worked with the construction team to revise designs and layouts of technology room in the field to accommodate the necessary equipment and riser facilities. BTP also managed the delivery and implementation of the carrier, voice and data systems throughout the construction.
For the Data Centers in New York City and Secaucus, NJ, BTP was called upon to design new MDFs, distribution pathways and inter-cabinet cabling for a 20 cabinet expansion. The MDF design included upgrading and supplementing existing inter-cabinet cabling as well as special considerations for a segregated network for back-ups and storage. BTP worked closely with the installation contractor on-site to support the implementation and provide immediate conflict resolution. BTP also developed a Telecommunications Infrastructure Standards Document for the Information Services Group to be distributed to MSKCC facilities and construction teams for future build-out, relocation, and expansion projects.
Medgar Evers College, part of the City University of New York (CUNY) system, planned to construct a new Academic Building on their campus. This building was designed to house a new Data Center to support not only this building, but eventually the entire campus. The Academic Building contained “intelligent” classrooms including distance learning, videoconferencing, wireless data networking, and other cutting edge technologies and applications. BTP’s various roles on this project include: structured cable plant design services, construction administration, Data Center space and migration planning, Data Center design, voice systems design, network systems design, desktop and peripheral specifications and procurement, and Campus-wide telecommunications connectivity design. As of October 2005 this project is on-hold by the client.
BTP provided technology design, build out and move coordination for the relocation of PRIMEDIA’s New York City offices into a new facility at 1440 Broadway, New York, NY. The relocation effort involved the consolidation of several existing computer facilities into one data center. BTP was responsible for the audit, needs analysis, telecommunications design, security systems design, coordination, contractor/product selection and procurement as well as oversight management of the final relocation and telecommunications work. During the course of the project, BTP developed new national PRIMEDIA corporate standards for voice and data telecommunications, audiovisual and security systems.
BTP was responsible for the establishment of a new ADS schema for Eisner LLP and the migration of all client/server technology to their newly appointed New York Headquarters facility. In addition, BTP designed and integrated the new storage area networks and deployed migrated the email systems to MS Exchange 2000.
