55 PRT GROUP Innovation and security. The constant evolution of both technology and norms, especially in terms of security and data protection, pushed PRT to invest more and more in its IT infrastructure. In so doing, the company pursues 2 goals: to streamline and improve the systems in use, and to make the employees’ work more efficient and effective. The project envisages several steps and types of actions: - UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply): purchase of a new Uninterruptible Power Supply in order to prevent possible malfunctions, such as brownouts and blackouts in electricity supply. A reliable supply is guaranteed for critical loads by filtering a wide range of disturbances that may hit the electrical network. - Storage: the management and storage of huge amounts of data requires a larger and larger archive space. Investments in this specific sector are crucial to expand the capacity of data centers by 30/40%, and to allow a faster access to a cutting-edge, safe infrastructure. - Network: investing in the company’s network derives from the need to replace the present machines with some new and better-performing equipment, allowing a more effective access to network devices. This transition allows to redesign the network in the best possible way, making it faster and safer through a constant monitoring of traffic. - Virtualization: the last step of our innovation project deals with a substantial improvement of the present structure through a last-generation virtual machine, a safer and more efficient one. The latter is adopted in order to virtualize a physical server by creating more virtual servers, each univocal and isolated. This brings many advantages such as the reduction of operational costs, an increase in apps performance, a higher availability of servers and a faster deployment of workloads. The updating of our IT infrastructure will be finished by the end of 2022 and will have a positive impact form a cybersecurity viewpoint, and in terms of energy consumption. This project will allow the company to be more energy-efficient thanks to the streamlining of technological resources, and more efficient tools that make operations faster and, in so doing, require less electricity.
