Mission
Our mission is to prepare legislation and develop integrated solutions of road systems and
land/marine transportation networks that are safe and in line with Dubais economic development
plans and the highest international standards .
Profile
Formed in November 2005. Responsible for strategy, legislation, planning
and executing of multi modal transport and traffic projects in Dubai.
Modes of Transport
Buses, Taxis, Water Taxis, Metro Rail.in future Al SufouhTram
RTAs need for a DC GROWTH Since IT Service Launch in Apr 2006
USERS

- 4 buildings 6 buildings
Key Challenges
Current DC a Inherited facility
Did the best with what we have
Standardise, consolidate & integrate
Rapid changes
Unpredictable demands and high growth
High lead time for Rented premises
Need for a Disaster Recovery DC for RTA Enterprise as well
as hosting space for Public Transportation & Dubai Taxi
Agency.
Strategic Plans to have a state of the art Green Data Center
which is highly available, scalable, flexible and modular.
While treating timelines as priority, the compromise was
on the Bldg. quality.

Design Parameters:
Power:
UPS in A+B Configuration backed by Generators
Catered for future growth
Cooling:
Hot Aisle + Cold Aisle Design
Redundant HVAC Controlled Environment
In Row Cooling Units for Hot Spots and future High Density Cooling
Cabling
Modular Pre-Terminated Copper & Fiber for current and future growth
Racks
Seismically-braced Server and Network Racks
Possibility to Change Racks of higher height in future seamlessly.
Possibility of remotely shutting down powering up the socket for a desired server.
KVM
Remotely monitor and administer Servers and network components
Out of Band Management
Fire Suppression
Gas based Fire Suppression
Possibility of changing the suppression from FM200 to Inergen or a greener agent
Security
Dual Factor Bio-metric authentication
Continuous Video Surveillance
Round the clock presence of Security Officers on premises
Perceived Modular DC
Achieved Modular DC
Modular DC
Power:
UPS:
Lower operational cost due to higher efficiency of (1+1) modules in redundancy.
Dual input bus ready to take input from different input power networks.
Tier-upgrade ready without interruption under operational conditions - Load Bus Synchronization feature.
MeetsTIA942 multiple paths/multiple source requirements.
Generators:
Generators connected in sync mode between each other and DEWA incomer through a ACB.
Generators support the UPS systems, Base Load CCUs and auxiliary power requirements of the DC.
Power Distribution Units:
Allowing easy reconfiguration and re-allocation of the distribution circuits for multiple power paths to the
racks or addition of new racks.
In--Rack Patching:
In
Pre-terminated, high density copper & fiber
Distributed Fiber / Copper density by using ceiling and under floor design
Specialized MDF cabinets reducing penetrations bottle-necks
Fool-proof cabling, eliminating operators unchartered improvising
Using specialized Fiber overhead Containment system
Eliminate future spaghetti scenarios
