Visitors of the new Parliament building enjoy an impressive view: even from a distance the seat of government, designed in the style of contemporary Thai architecture and according to the concept of the Triphum and the Tipitaka, is silhouetted against Bangkok´s skyline. The Thai Parliament is the legislative’s seat but also a meeting point for the representatives and senators of the Asian metropolis – built in only seven years.
A new data center was planned to be part of the new seat of government. The demand to it was crystal clear: highest availability of the systems and the business-critical processes. Outsourcing was not an option for the responsible planners. In the past they already had their own data center and intended to operate their own IT infrastructures in the new government building as well. At the same time many national and international standards had to be taken into account.
”We designed the new data center as a prototype for future Thailand data centers. It is a role model regarding it’s physical security and availability and guarantees the data security we need to achieve our business goals“, says Khun Suchat Rojthongkam, Deputy Secretary General of the Secretariat of The House of Representatives.
The attention was drawn to the high security room ”DC IT Room Granite” through the collaboration with SITEM (Site Preparation Management Co. Ltd.), one of the partners of Data Center Products in Asia. It took less than 1 month to realize an ECB•S certified room-in-room concept on 77 sqm.
”We are sure that with the DC IT Room Granite we found the best room-in-room solution for us, with a high degree of investment security“ sums up Khun Suchat Rojthongkam.
