A London-area warehouse contacted Durell to replace a failing centrally-wired access control system. Durell responded same-day to identify existing faults and provide options for replacement. The customer selected Durell to install an Infinias Intelli-M distributed access control system. Features and services provided by Durell include:
- Merging existing card user database with new server
- PoE-powered distributed controllers
- Ethernet cabling and terminations
- Zero interruption of service via incremental replacement
- Configuration of software on virtual machine
- Enabled customer-administered SQL database backups
Once the new system had proven itself, the customer tasked Durell with migrating an existing Infinias system in Calgary, Alberta to the same server. Durell was responsible for
- Merging existing card user database with new server
- Migration of controllers to new IP subnet
- Decommissioning of old software
Although all tasks had to be performed remotely from London in co-ordination with customer staff in Calgary, the migration was successful.
