Govplace Contracted to Design, Build and Manage IT Storage and Disaster Recovery for the County of Orange, California

Irvine, CA (PRWEB) December 4, 2009

Govplace , provider of enterprise IT solutions for the public sector, has been awarded a contract to design, build and manage IT storage and disaster recovery for the County of Orange, California. The County will leverage a Govplace IaaS offering to improve government efficiency, enhance its disaster recovery response and reduce costs.

With this Govplace IaaS offering, the County will be able to pay-as-they-go for their IT storage and disaster recovery service needs. Govplace will guarantee predetermined levels of performance, support and reliability to meet the Countys storage and disaster recovery needs. This arrangement will allow the County to scale up their IT storage and backup needs quickly, without large start up expenses, and only pay for the resources they use.

The County of Orange will realize a number of benefits that will enable it to better meet the needs of residents. This Govplace IaaS solution will lower operating costs, capital outlay and manpower expenses, as well as enables the County to improve the level of service it provides to internal organizations and residents. Additionally, Govplaces IaaS solution greatly improves the Countys data backup efforts, and in the event of a disaster, speeds the recovery of data and systems.

A key component of the Govplace IaaS solution will be mainframe integration. The Govplace IaaS solution will allow the County to continue to use its legacy mainframe environment, and even increase performance, while greatly reducing operating and backup costs. As an example, the mainframe integration will reduce media (tape) and storage expenses, provide faster back up and restores, and reduce manpower needs for the County.

This IT solution will improve efficiency and enhance our disaster recovery capability, said KC Roestenberg, Director of Business IT Shared Services for the County of Orange, California. We appreciate the contributions of Govplace in the design and management of this innovative solution

Now, more than ever, customers require effective and efficient services and solutions with a limited budget,” said Damon Brown, Chief Technical Officer at Govplace. “This led us to create customized solutions, like Infrastructure-as-a-Service, which improve the efficiency of our customer’s data centers at a considerably reduced expense.”

GL Conveys the Availability of RF Design Tools

Gaithersburg, Maryland (PRWEB) August 04, 2012

GL Communications Inc. a leader in providing PC-based test, analysis and simulation products and consulting services to the worldwide telecommunications industry, conveyed today the availability of its RF Design Tools that help engineers to design commercial and public safety land mobile radio systems and microwave networks.

Speaking to the press, Mr. Vijay Kulkarni, CEO of the company said, RF design tools and optimization software help engineers design and analyze radio networks in order to ensure that they meet stringent quality and reliability requirements per ITU and other industry standards. Some of the important RF design tools are: RF Propagation Studies, Microwave Path Profiles and Intermodulation Interference Studies.

He explained, RF propagation is the transmission of radio signals from a transmitter to a receiver. The characteristics of a propagating RF signal largely depends on the radio frequency, geographic terrain, foliage, buildings, and varying weather conditions. Radio network designers would like to predict RF coverage based on a set of proposed system requirements that also include proposed site locations, antennas, and radiating power and other such parameters. Such a prediction helps determine whether the intended service objectives can be met.

Microwave Path Profiles: In designing a microwave link, engineers consider if the terrain/path between two ends of a link is likely to interfere with the propagation. A path profile uses topographical information and Fresnel diffraction impact to plot ground elevation in the path between two microwave sites. Using the path profile tool, antenna placement and its elevation can be determined to provide a line of sight with the desired level of reliability. Computer generated plots help determine a line of sight path, thus avoiding time consuming plots by hand and reducing the need for detailed site surveys. Once a suitable path is established and it has to be verified by “walking the path”, or performing a path survey, to ensure that vegetation, buildings, and other obstructions do not interfere with the microwave link path.

Intermodulation interference (IM) is a common cause of interference in radio systems. It may occur when a receiver receives two or more signals at different frequencies. Due to non-linear characteristics of receiver components, in addition to the signal at the desired frequency, undesired signals are produced at frequencies that are sum and difference of the input frequencies. These undesired signals are called IM products. IM analysis should be performed when more than one frequency is transmitted from a platform and whenever new transmit or receive frequencies are added to a platform.

Mr. Kulkarni further added, In addition to the above tools, GL has developed, in house, an extensive array of advanced wireless system design tools. They include Geographic Plotting of GPS based data for drive testing and evaluations, microwave Inter-connect, erlang calculator, RF coverage, 2D and 3D terrain maps, service area boundary contours study, TV station Grade-B contour interference analysis, adjacent and co-channels interference analysis, carrier-to-Interferer Ratio Plots.
