euromicron AG: Bigpoint sets store by euromicron for new IT network

---------------------------------------------------------------------?Germany's leading developer and vendor of browser games commissions
euromicron to plan and implement a cutting-edge network infrastructure in a
listed building in Hamburg
Hamburg, October 2, 2011 - Bigpoint GmbH from Hamburg has grown at a
terrific pace in the past years. Germany's leading developer and vendor of
browser games is one of the world's top 3 in this growth market. Browser
games are online games that can be played directly in a browser (e.g.
Internet Explorer, Safari or Firefox) - without having to be downloaded or
installed on the PC first. The company numbered 100 employees in 2007, a
figure that has since risen to over 800. These are mostly highly qualified
people who ensure that the more than 220 million registered Bigpoint users
are offered new games, fun and excitement.
The company's growth meant that it needed to relocate its headquarters in
May 2011. A location was found in the heart of Hamburg, at the 'Am
Gänsemarkt' square, just a few steps from the Alster lake and Dammtor train
station. And the building itself is just as impressive as the location: The
former post office building is listed as a historical monument and, with
its around 12,000 square meters, offers plenty of space for further growth.
It was carefully renovated in close coordination with the Office for the
Preservation of Historical Monuments. Numerous old elements, such as the
original stairwells, were preserved. Now the new offices have a modern and
stylish look - Bigpoint's new place of work exudes a cool loft-like charm.
Homogeneous network infrastructure that can grow with the company
However, just as important as the creative atmosphere for Bigpoint were the
technological efficiency of the modern workplaces and leading-edge
technical equipment of the entire building to match the company's image.
The network infrastructure in the renovated industrial building therefore
had to be brought up to date.
Bigpoint chose the network specialists euromicron systems for the active
technology. The system house from the euromicron Group is an all-round
solution provider for communications, data, security and broadband
networks. euromicron's network infrastructures integrate voice, video and
data transport wirelessly, via copper cable and by means of fiber-optic
technologies. That was a good decision: during planning, it turned out that
Bigpoint's growth strategy demanded a completely new, homogeneous and
expandable network.
'Among other things, connection to 450 Mbit/s-capable dual N-standard WLANs
wouldn't have been possible due to the numerous restrictions to data rates
in the old network,' says Henning Stüben, account manager at euromicron
systems GmbH in Hamburg.
Full-coverage LAN and WLAN network for inside and outside
After a detailed analysis of needs and future requirements for the network
by euromicron's experts, Bigpoint decided to build a redundant, highly
available LAN on the whole building's extensive copper and fiber-optic
cabling, as well as to provide WLAN coverage also extending to the outside
areas of the building complex (e.g. terraces and interior courtyard). The
customer's requirements for scalability and high availability were ensured
by the meshed 10,000 Mbit/s = 10 Gbit/s backbone technology and redundant
design of all central systems, such as the WLAN controllers or
routing-capable core switches with expansion reserves, and were pretested
and accepted by the customer at euromicron's lab.
Bigpoint moved to its new location within 4 days, with the result that
euromicron had to accomplish the installation work within a very tight time
window. First of all, the existing structure at the company's old
headquarters was kept in operation and the new functioning network was then
created in the new building. 2 core switches, 13 floor switches, 63 WLAN
access points, 200 office switches and 3,600 active network ports were
installed within a few days, meaning an operational network was able to be
handed over to the customer on the first day it moved into its new
premises. 'Good coordination prior to installation at a customer workshop
meant that we at euromicron were able to preconfigure all the necessary
parameters at our own lab,' is how Stüben explains the rapid
implementation.
And the quality of the network infrastructure did not suffer whatsoever
because of that speed. AndréWagner, head of the euromicron systems branch
office in Hamburg, is proud of his team, which was able to give the new
customer Bigpoint a magnificent display of its skills in this first
project: 'Bigpoint's satisfaction proves that our team turned in a highly
professional performance - from consulting, project management to
implementation.'
