Bangkok--Jan 18--SoftControl

Leading coal-fired power producer BLCP selects SoftControl for IT infrastructure implementation services.

SoftControl recently announced in Bangkok, the successful initiation of a major IT infrastructure service contract with BLCP Power Limited (BLCP), a leader in the coal-fired power production industry.

As part of its vital role in the project, SoftControl helped to create and install architect IT infrastructure including networks, servers, applications, firewalls, Storage Area Network (SAN), backup abilities, policies, and operational procedures. The scope of the on-going service contract also includes hardware and software acquisitions and related installation and implementation services. “Our solutions were based on ensuring that all applications have the highest accessibility to users in the event of any potential disruption in service, including power, switch, firewall, or network card failure,” added Georg Trapp, Managing Director for SoftControl.

SoftControl implemented Cisco redundant core Layer-3 switches to ensure network redundancy and high routing capability. The core network is connected to over ten remote buildings via 3Com switches and fiber connections (both single and fiber mode). Over ten HP rack servers were supplied to provide the wide selection of services required with critical applications with each server connected directly to HP SAN for a single point of storage. For easy management, data back up is also centralized through an HP Autoloader device.

In addition to SoftControl, vendors involved in the 20+ M Baht project included APC, Computer Associated, and Symantec. As part of BLCP’s outsourcing concept, SoftControl will remain with the project to provide continuous senior level support and consultancy.

BLCP Power Limited (BLCP) is a joint venture between Banpu Coal Power Limited and CLP Power (BLCP) Limited and operates a 1,434 MW coal-fired power plant in Map Ta Phut, Rayong Province. In a recently completed power purchase agreement (PPA) with EGAT, BLCP has agreed to develop, construct, finance, operate, and maintain the project for a 25-year term from the Commercial Operation Date (COD) of the second unit.
