ABOUT THE PROJECT
Last year Two Point Studios joined the SEGA Europe family and Keysource was appointed to provide consultancy and professional services for a communications room for the newly acquired business. This was to support the general compute for the office of around 50 people.
Keysource did an initial assessment which reviewed the current specification provided by the main building contractor. This then enabled a gap analysis to be undertaken against best practice guidelines and SEGA Europe’s requirements. The objective to deploy a suitable solution in line with the IT requirements and included exercises to establish a clear client brief. This focused on the purpose of the facility and services; the current facility design information; the impact of failure; and further opportunities and considerations.
The finalised report provided SEGA Europe with a detailed summary of suggested alterations to the current scheme, additional considerations and next steps. In addition, there was a detailed specification of the requirement from day one and future IT capacity, cooling & power, Security and protection, monitoring and ongoing maintenance and support.
The project included:
- Provided a fully comprehensive gap analysis
- Ensured the new communications room was fit for purpose and futureproof
- Ensured the recommendations where technically achievable within the building limitations
- Considered the cost implication of recommendations and that they were economically viable.
- Further built on established long term partnership and trusted advisor status
Following the engagement Keysource were asked to supply and install some of the proposed recommendations, including the ongoing maintenance and support of critical systems providing the customer piece of mind that the performance requirements would be met.
