AMIK Technology Inc

Our Network Design follows BiCSi's New Telecommunications Distributions Methods. Amik Technology strongly supports the efforts of BiCSi to develop and document standards in the industry. We also support the efforts of Environmentalists like Frank Bisbee as he works to identify and resolve issues with abandoned cable and environmental pollutants like lead in PVC wire coatings.

Amik Technology provides high quality, high performance, and environmentally friendly telecommunication design solutions to our clients. Our Network Design experience includes:
 
-Design of Entry Corridors
-Design of Server Rooms
-Design of Wiring Closets
-Trays & Cable Management
-Risers, Floor Openings & Fire Stopping 
-Equipment Enclosures and Racks
-Drop Quantities and Layout
-Backup Power and Filtering
-​Fire Suppression Systems 

Your Managed Cable System used to be just the PC network but you should now include:
 
-Power for Electronics and Computers, Filtered Power, and Power --Backup
-Security System Wiring
-Intercom and Paging Systems
-Phone System Wiring (Telecommunications Systems)
-Wireless Network Access Points
-Fire Alarm System Cabling
-Heating, Ventilating and Air Conditioning System Control
 
It is easy to let every trade take care of their own wiring needs but this lack of planning leads to environmental issues, reduced longevity, messy layout, overfill of trays and risers, and excess costs.
​
Network systems especially need to allow for change. Businesses and institutions expand and contract with market fluctuation, people relocate, and standards change. Ways of communication, expectations, and the associated costs of communication are changing at a rate that is simply mind boggling!
​
Today's leading organizations are planning for change. There is a very strong move towards managing building Infrastructure with an eye for minimizing cost and maximizing flexibility related to CHANGE
​
If your hiring an Architectural Firm to construct a new facility consider whether you have the resources to provide detailed network infrastructure design to the architects design team or subcontractors; typically an electrical design draftsman. If the architect is providing the network design evaluate the skills/resources they are providing. If you are not totally confident that you have this area covered, consider hiring an outside network design consultant to provide the necessary design input. 
​
Amik works with Engineering and Architectural Teams to design network infrastructure in support of better business environments.

Green Storage
 
Seagate in a recent VAR Channel Webinar talked about their interpretation of "Greening Your Storage". Seagate says there are two trends in the market these days:
​
The move from 3.5" down to 2.5 inch drives as the new drives are more material and energy efficient. 
The implementation of solid state drives in place of rotating media.
 
What else was interesting in the seminar ... Serial Attached SCSI (SAS Drives) use them anywhere you would think of putting a Serial ATA (SATA) disk where you want server level reliability instead of tier 3 consumer quality drives.
