What is the IP-Connected Enterprise? An approach to enterprise infrastructure design and operation which provides: Utility grade connectivity for any microprocessor-based system Remote, real time control and monitoring of these systems and devices A migration path onto a single infrastructure spanning the enterprise. Power Water Gas Information - the 4th Utility
Is the promise of the IP Connected Enterprise fact or fiction? A fundamental rule in technology says that whatever can be done will be done. - Andy Grove, Intel co-founder The Only Real Question is When? Bottom Line: An IP Connected Enterprise requires a robust cabling infrastructure, such as a Category 6/Class E cabling plant, to support it.
The IP Connected Enterprise Business Drivers Centralised Management Regulatory Compliance Issues Increased Worker Productivity & Mobility Physical/Logical Security Conservation (Green Buildings, etc.) Lower operational costs and increased productivity
An Example of a Non-Integrated System
The Path to the IP Connected Enterprise
The 21st Century Intelligent Building Model Building Systems and User Systems Converge Ethernet and IP Information and Control Transport Unified Cabling Infrastructure LEGACY APPROACH: Important Role for Single Function Systems MIGRATION TO NETWORK APPROACH: Isolated Systems Join IP Connected Enterprise IP CONNECTED ENTERPRISE: IP Connected Enterprise Replaces Isolated Systems I. Legacy Systems II. Hybrid Systems III. Fully Integrated Systems
Not a New Concept IBS - Intelligent Building Systems (1992-1999) The use of integrated technological building systems, communications and controls to create a building and its infrastructure which provides the owner, operator and occupant with an environment which is flexible, effective, comfortable and secure.

Legacy Systems LEGACY APPROACH: Important Role for Single Function Systems I. Legacy Systems
Legacy Systems Difficult to Tie Systems Together Video Surveillance TV & Images Fire, Life & Safety Voice Comm. Access Control Fax & Text Comm. HVAC & Lighting Factory & Indus. Process Automation Electricity, Water, Elevator Data Comm.
Hybrid Systems MIGRATION TO NETWORK APPROACH: Isolated Systems Join IP Connected Enterprise II. Hybrid Systems
Hybrid Systems Easier to Connect Together Video Surveillance Translation Devices TV & Images Fire, Life &Safety Voice Comm. Hybrid Access Control Fax & Text Comm. HVAC & Lighting Data Comm. Factory & Indus. Process Automaton. Electricity, Water, Elevator
IP Connected Enterprise System IP CONNECTED ENTERPRISE: IP Connected Enterprise Replaces Isolated Systems III. Fully Integrated Systems
IP Connected Enterprise System - Seamless Integration Building systems have converged onto one IP network making integration a seamless process. Systems are now open and interoperable meaning they can instantly communicate with each other even over long distances. IP CONNECTED ENTERPRISE: IP Connected Enterprise Replaces Isolated Systems III. Fully Integrated Systems

Integrating Building Subsystems
Today: Video Surveillance and Access Control Integration Basic Integration Access Control systems hardwired to input alarm ports of Digital Video Recorders (DVRs) Hybrid Integration Access Control panels interconnecting with DVRs via external RS-232 IP converters Full IP Integration Access Control door controllers and IP Network Video Recorders (NVRs) connected directly to the Enterprise network
Example: Video Surveillance and Access Control Integration
Today: VoIP Initiated the Converging Model First validation tests: International office fax service (cost) Call centre (customer service) Internal company calls (cost/quality)
Today: Audio / Visual Over IP Conference Rooms Learning Centres Simplified control and maintenance Category 5e 48 VDC Power Telephone Extension Distribution Panel Phone System Power Supply Walls
Today: Business Video on the IP Network First validation tests: Desktop Video conferencing (cost) Training (on demand archives) Company News & Information Networks A meeting between multiple international offices
Today: Energy Management Lighting HVAC Example: Energy Efficiencies Savings at Anixter s Warehouses Alsip 25% cost savings Reno 33% cost savings
Tomorrow: Improve Communication between Life/Safety and Building Critical Equipment Integration Building Administration with Life, Safety & Security Secondary Systems Auxiliary Control Remote Monitoring for first responders Bottom Line: Integration improves quality of communication with First Responders.
The Big Question - How Does It Affect My Network? Video Surveillance over IP 60% growth in IP Video Cameras in 2007. Standard VGA Cameras Full Frame Rate 3-8 Mbps Bandwidth Megapixel Cameras 5 MP Cameras Available 15-55 Mbps Megapixels 60 50 40 30 20 Megapixels Bandwidth Mbps Access Control over IP Each door has a similar impact as a VOIP telephone 10 0 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008
In Conclusion The IP Connected Enterprise is happening The technology is ready The benefits are there It s not all or nothing There is a path to get you to there Implement as your business case makes sense ROI/TCO
