Introduction
Nestled in an idyllic island setting surrounded by beautiful beaches, an exclusive resort consisting of 120+ villas embarked on a mission to provide its guests with unparalleled convenience and “Value for Money.” The resort’s vision was brought to life by VS ONE WORLD, who implemented a cutting-edge Extra Low Voltage (ELV) and Smart Building Solution.
The Challenge
The resort required a modern and reliable solution that would integrate various services, including broadband internet, IP Telephony, IP TV, and Wireless LAN. Furthermore, the remote location of the resort demanded a fault-resilient infrastructure to ensure uninterrupted service.
The Solution
Technology and Integration (By Expert One)
The project was realized through the deployment of a Gigabit Ethernet Passive Optical Network (GPON). Leveraging products and solutions from world-leading vendors such as HP, Planet, 3CX, Infostar, Juniper, and Molex, a state-of-the-art technology solution was designed.
Key highlights include:
- Broadband Internet: High-speed connectivity to meet the demands of modern guests.
- IP Telephony: Enhanced communication capabilities for both guests and staff.
- IP TV: A rich television experience with diverse content availability.
- Wireless LAN: Seamless wireless connectivity across the resort.
- Integration with Property Management System (PMS): A unified platform to manage various aspects of the resort’s operations.
Infrastructure Design and Fault Resilience (By Expert Two)
The remote nature of the resort required a robust, reliable, and fault-resilient infrastructure. To this end, the PMS and other application services were deployed on a highly available VMware virtualization platform.
Critical aspects included:
- Fault Resilience: Designing the system with redundancy and failover capabilities to minimize downtime.
- Scalability: The infrastructure was built to accommodate future growth and technological advancements.
- Security: Ensuring data integrity and protection against potential threats.
Conclusion
The collaboration between VS ONE WORLD and the resort culminated in a sophisticated ELV and Smart Building Solution that aligned with the resort’s ethos of “Value for Money.” By integrating cutting-edge technologies and ensuring fault resilience, the resort now offers its guests an enhanced and reliable experience. The success of this project serves as a testament to the importance of innovation, collaboration, and thoughtful design in the hospitality industry. It stands as a model for future endeavors in remote and demanding environments.
