Diseño de la red de área local convergente del edificio central de la Empresa Eléctrica Provincial Cotopaxi (ELEPCO S.A.)

Abstract

The present paper analyzes the data network of the Empresa Electrica Provincial Cotopaxi S.A. (ELEPCO), in infrastructure and administration. Also, designing a converged network in the central building of the company was described. For analysis was taken as reference infrastructure, physical and logical topology as well as applications and telephony. The analysis of the current situation of the data network system proved to be deficient and need to be restructured, following the rules of structured cabling standards. Moreover, the design of the converged network were taken into account factors such as traffic and server sizing, among others. The design presented converged network ensures integrity in sending data, thus covering the requirements of the business and operational priorities proposed. Finally, by structuring a prototype test on a smaller scale that included: CPUs acting as servers, two workstations and IP camera for video surveillance, was demonstrated the design effectiveness, taking into account that all deployed services can be used by network users.
