VICT docks with Dimension Data
Victoria International Container Terminal has tapped global ICT solutions and services provider Dimension Data to deliver the required information technology infrastructure for the AU$550 million terminal at the Port of Melbourne’s Webb Dock East.
According to Anders Dømmestrup, VICT CEO, “Dimension Data was ultimately selected because a tight construction schedule meant that VICT needed a partner with the experience and expertise to deliver on time and on target. Ultimately, the technical infrastructure will be supporting all of VICT’s mission critical information systems and we trust Dimension Data to deliver our distinct requirements and draw on the unique expertise of its global counterparts.”
VICT’s automated container carriers will require Wi-Fi connectivity across the 35.4 hectare site to function. Dimension Data will deliver every element of the technical infrastructure up to the application level, including physical connectivity from the data center to the site itself, fiber cabling within the site, a customs-grade CCTV network, and more than 60 Cisco Wireless Access Points. This is in addition to implementing the on-site data center and providing Infrastructure as a Service (Iaas) for testing and development from Dimension Data’s Melbourne Managed Cloud Platform.
Artist’s perspective of a fully-developed VICT.
Located at Webb Dock East within the largest commercial port in Australia, VICT will be one of the most automated and advanced container terminals in the world. The terminal is expected to handle more than one million TEUs annually. The success of the project will rely mainly on the underlying network infrastructure to be provided by Dimension Data.
