Daman HQ project involved a comprehensive office cabling solution.

Daman HQ gets R&M network cabling solution

ABU DHABI, March 12, 2015

Reichle & De-Massari (R&M) Middle East Turkey and Africa has completed a large-scale deployment for Daman, a leading specialised health insurer of the Middle East region, which involved a comprehensive office cabling solution for the company's 18-floor headquarters building in Abu Dhabi, UAE.

With the new implementation, the health insurance specialist now has a state-of-the-art network infrastructure in place which it can leverage to deploy the latest IT applications and services, said a statement.

Mohammed Riyaz, area sales manager for the UAE, Qatar, Oman and Iraq at R&M, said: “Daman is one of our key customers in the UAE and over 80 per cent of their existing network infrastructure in the country is based on our solutions.”

Pradeep Ghosh, IT project consultant at Daman, said: “We already shared a very good relationship with R&M and were solidly convinced by the quality of their solutions and the professionalism of their team. So when it came to laying the vital cabling infrastructure for our new headquarters, that would be the vital backbone to all our IT systems, the decision to go with R&M was straightforward.”

While the insurance provider had utilised R&M's Cat.6 solution for the cabling in its older offices, it now had increasing demands for bandwidth. This required a solution which could effortlessly deliver 10GbE connectivity, said the statement.

R&M's Cat.6a ISO solution was deployed on account of its compliance with the more stringent ISO/IEC 11801 Class EA link standard which guarantees higher performance, quality and reliability.

A notable feature is the solution's ability to support transmission frequencies of up to 650 MHz, which is a large step up over the 500 Mhz specified by the Cat.6a standard.

“We now have a system that exceeds our current expectations of performance and reliability. At Daman, we will continue to leverage the latest IT solutions to remain at the forefront of the industry. With R&M, we have managed to deploy the robust platform upon which we can now rapidly deploy applications and scale our services with confidence,” said Ghosh.

The entire solution has been designed and deployed with the intention of implementing the R&MinteliPhy Automated Infrastructure Management (AIM) solution in the next phase of the project, said the statement.

This will provide easy and automated management of the cable infrastructure while also delivering an unmatched level of security as unauthorised connections will be immediately detected, it said.

R&MinteliPhy utilises high-density panels, which will enable Daman to easily migrate from 10GbE to 40/100GbE without distributing the cabinet structure or changing the AIM components, it added. - TradeArabia News Service
