The British MuseumThe British Museum has installed a sophisticated network infrastructure to modernise its IT operations and provide the foundation for future applications. Pinacl Solutions designed and installed the infrastructure and will provide management capabilities under the terms of a 5 year contract.The British Museum is one of the most popular museums in the world. The museum relies on the IT infrastructure to deliver traditional back of house tools such as email and making multimedia technologies available to the public that showcase the museum's collections. Key FeaturesPinacl Solutions was awarded a five year contract with the museum for the supply and support of its IT system. Pinacl designed a completely new infrastructure on behalf of the museum. New equipment was installed throughout the museum including the new computer room and at a variety of cabinet locations throughout the building. Pinacl Solutions added to the existing network infrastructure which consisted of a 3Com asynchronous transfer mode network that connected to a Cisco gigabit front of house network. Pinacl ran a variety of strategy days to assess the museum's future requirements. Pinacl also beta tested a variety of products such as PDAs and wireless technologies to evaluate their use to the museum in the future.The British Museum is made up of many buildings which are listed, this meant that the museum had many installation regulations. The main restrictions that affected Pinacl were that the company was not allowed to interfere with any architectural mouldings, wood or plaster and was not allowed to drill holes over 25mm without permission. Pinacl also helped the museum to prepare for the centralising of the museum's IT and admin staff to one area.
