Tour of the VTB Bank - IT part

36 ph + a bit of letters via: russos

Tower "West" complex Federation I photographed in the winter of 2007. Now let's look at a small part of the building. Of course, talk in a post about all the engineering is quite impossible, so I'll show a small IT-segment VTB - various interesting technical gizmos.





1. In any high-rise, in addition to specific requirements for the engineering systems of the bank for emergencies, very carefully considered to ensure fire safety. For example, in case of fire all the elevators down to the first floor, open the doors and locks, and in the staircase hall is pumped air to create a backwater that provides evacuation without smoke. Also, all employees in the workplace is kept gazodymozaschitny set to reach the stairs.



2. The dispatching of computer networks of the bank. The left side shows the status of communication lines in Moscow, in the center - the tower "the West." Right - Federation technical systems relating to the bank.



3. The bank's network in Moscow. All the lines are duplicated, except those that go to the offices. Yellow line - increased traffic.



4. And it can be seen from the control room.



5. In the next room sat administrators. On the floor all that was the only door with an additional contingency sticker.



6. Inside, everything is standard for the admin's room: a bunch of some computers, wires and parts of what nobody knows.



7. I did not think that the desktop is now so common. For offices, it turns out, it is very convenient. By the way, just in the bank - about five thousand computers.



8. The most unusual in the admin's normal - it is the view from the window. Ah ...



9. The inner corridor of the building. Round columns - one of the three columns standing in the corners of the triangular tower. And the most interesting - a red door. It is an autonomous armored capsule room where the phone is.



10. In the event of any emergency, it should ensure all communication with the bank for 4 hours. Since cellular communication in the building is not protected (the big three cell installed on each floor), it is necessary to ensure smooth operation of fixed phones, which are in any room. They are used also for alerting personnel (via speakerphone).



11. "In the case of destruction of the building (although this is unlikely), the room is likely to remain intact and will be buried under the rubble. Most likely, it will be even blinking lights equipment. "



12. During 10-15 minutes after the alarm should be completed all banking transactions and all transactions are closed. Within an hour, all the people out of the building to be evacuated.



13. In the Federation, there is no building data centers, which stores data on money and accounts. They are located in less visible areas of Moscow. By the way, all the cases of missing money from the accounts required to be investigated, and 100% of this wine is on the client side.



14. In the design of the entire engineering of the bank in addition to traditional threats such as unauthorized access, power cuts, etc., had to take account of the flooding - of the bank is about ten floors of apartments, a restaurant and swimming pool.



15. "All the data is naturally reserved. But it is necessary to correlate the level of spending on these activities with the consequences of an emergency. You can, for example, to hide a data center in an atomic bomb shelter. And if a piece of the sun will break away and fall to the ground, then your data in such a center is likely to continue, but they have no one can take advantage of. "



16. Battery. DC 12 V is converted to AC inverter 220. The battery provides 30 minutes of the entire system, except for individual units that have their own power sources. In addition, in the basement are diesel generators, and the building are arranged two independent input electricity (and all communications). The entire layout of the tower is made in a double performance, from the two mines and cable wiring on the floors and finishing power servers. The famous Moscow's power grid accident May 25, 2005, VTB was the only bank that could perform the operation. Just make them was not with anyone - all others are disabled.



17. The ingenious system of lifts call. Choose only the desired floor and, if necessary, apply the card-pass.



18. For the first time in the world the company has established a unique system of ThyssenKrupp TWIN-lifts. The shafts 11, 22 is an elevator, and they move independently from each other. The upper lift installed glass floor through which one can see the lower elevator. Its cables are on the sides of the upper elevator and set it on a diagonal. Elevators can be closer to one floor. In case of fire, the elevator descends to the lower floor -1, and the upper - to 1. Between them is a "zero level".



19. Server racks are arranged in sealed cabinets where supported by a particular temperature. Air cooling - water. On the right you can see one of these sections cooling.



20. Thanks to this solution in the server rooms are very quiet, and the equipment inside the cabinets almost no dust. Besides the room as a whole, each cabinet is equipped with its own fire-extinguishing system.



21. The cooling system as the working fluid uses water circulating in a closed circuit. On the technical floor set "mini-tower", which emit heat on the street. When you break the power to run the diesel engines and the system operates on a water reserve, which is stored in these tanks. Accumulators, of course, the pumps are not extended. By the way, the floor of the room is designed in the form of baths, which completely fit the contents of the tank leaked.



22. Some workstations for security purposes are located in the server. And the employee monitor, keyboard and mouse are connected to a special box where the data over fiber are in the rack. Here the signal is again disassembled and all the wires are stuck in a conventional system unit.



23. Television stations broadcasting on an internal Ethernet. You can look at the workstation with the help of a special program. Of course, only utilities, and only one channel (or channels) that is needed is that employee. No Discovery.



24. exterior corridors. What is interesting here is almost out the door. All rooms have access into the building, to be closer to the stairs during the evacuation.



25. The system of gas fire. On the floor is a few such rooms. In case of fire in the room it is served in a gas that displaces oxygen, and fire it becomes nothing to eat. Breathe man, of course, also have nothing, so it is necessary to jump out of the room by a bullet. For example, in an armored room, the door closes after 30 seconds after the fire alarm. Inside it, you can open, but the best time to jump.



26. Cabinet of the Vice-President of the Bank's IT. All rooms are top managers are in this corner of the building but on different floors - there is the best view of Moscow.



27. The system IPatch, which automatically documents the connection on a physical level, searches for new IP-based devices connected



28. When an empty patch cords sticking system detects the connection and waits, when the wire is plugged into another device. But even so, it does not turn to connect your laptop, since any connection must be authenticated from the control room.



29. Based on the modular Y-adapter YU4-U2-U2, this rack is again telephony.



30. In some server cooling system is not brought. Cooling cabinets done individually air-conditioned. In the case of stopping at cabinets automatically open the two doors, which are at opposite ends. At the bottom of the room opens the flap and the air is blown into the room from the corridor, providing emergency ventilation equipment. If a fire in the hallway, the room is isolated and the ventilation is realized only at the expense of its internal air. However, in this mode the equipment will not operate four hours and about two.



31. A few shots from the tower itself. This is the main entrance to the apartment.



32. Pay attention to the monorail between the Federation and Mirax Plaza. It was assumed that in a huge plaza will be located parking and workers, leaving the machine will be able to get to the monorail Federation. Alas, while it is only a draft.



33. restaurant under the roof at a height of 230 meters.



34. View of the newly built tower "East". Here interesting technical floor with V-shaped design. It Outrigger that horizontal loads in the tower transmits to the vertical. Moreover, this floor tower divides into independent compartments vertically.



35. Pool on the roof.



36. Toilet at an altitude of 230 meters - that's fine!

It's not just beautiful, it megaohuenno
All
