GlobalConnect's business continues to expand, and our standards for security and effective operations are higher than ever. For this reason GlobalConnect has chosen to invest in a brand new OMC - Operations and Maintenance Centre - which will be instrumental in setting an even higher quality standard for all GlobalConnect solutions. The new OMC is located at our headquarters in Taastrup and has been operating since July 2010.

High uptime and effective processes

- The monitoring of networks, data centres, and all other infrastructure is extremely important to ensure high uptime and to optimize our workflow. For the new OMC we have used many of the same redundancy principles as employed in our data centres. In this way we can monitor our systems constantly, and the risk of a disruption of the monitoring is minimal, says Tore Heide Villund, GlobalConnect's housing manager and chief engineer behind the new OMC.

Complete monitoring

In the new OMC only first class equipment is used for monitoring. On rows of giant flat screens OMC personnel can view network status and any fault indicators or alarms. Also any physical access - meaning gates and doors - to GlobalConnect's data centres are video monitored on the OMC.
