Network & OT Design Datacenter network architecture Design the IP fabric switching and routing topology for each facility. Define standards for spineleaf out-of-band management and connectivity to corporate WAN. OT network design Architect the operational technology network that carries BMS traffic power monitoring environmental sensors and physical security systems. Keep it segmented reliable and maintainable. BMS integration Define how building controls HVAC electrical switchgear monitoring leak detection fire alarm interfaces connect back to the network. Own protocol decisions-BACnetIP Modbus TCP SNMP-and make sure the architecture supports both local control and remote visibility. Security segmentation Design the firewall rules VLANs and access controls that keep OTBMS traffic isolated from corporate IT and customer environments. No shortcuts.
Construction Phase Execution Represent IT on construction projects Be the internal IT point of contact during design and build. Review MEP drawings low-voltage scopes and BMS submittals.
