NNTC delivered a complete office IT infrastructure environment for a confidential corporate services company moving into Class-A office facilities in Dubai’s One Central District.
The project covered two physically separate office locations, 400 employees, high-density wired and wireless access, network security, identity-based access control, server virtualization, datacenter connectivity, and enterprise IP telephony.
The result was a move-in-ready office technology environment built to support secure connectivity, daily operations, multimedia use, and unified corporate communication.
The client needed to consolidate several user groups into a new modern workspace across two Class-A office locations in One Central, Dubai.
The move had to happen without disrupting access to existing centralized services hosted in two external datacenters: Etisalat and Equinix.
This created several technical and operational challenges:
The real risk was integration failure across network, security, Wi-Fi, telephony, virtualization, and datacenter connectivity.
For the client, success meant the move felt simple to employees, even though the infrastructure behind it was complex.
NNTC delivered the full office technology platform as one integrated environment.
The solution included switching, wireless, perimeter security, routing, secure datacenter connectivity, virtualized core services, Cisco ISE-based network access control, and Avaya Aura unified communications.
Instead of treating each layer as a separate installation, NNTC designed the office infrastructure as a connected operating environment.
This helped reduce cutover risk and gave the client a stable foundation for daily business operations.
The office design covered two physically separate locations in One Central District.
NNTC deployed a structured network architecture with core and access switching, consistent segmentation, and repeatable operations standards across both areas.
The setup included dual core switching, access switching at scale, PoE support for connected devices, and structured switching configurations for WAN, DMZ, trunking, and EtherChannel patterns.
This gave the client a reliable wired network foundation for users, phones, wireless access points, servers, and business systems.
The new office required strong wireless coverage for a dense enterprise environment.
The design included centralized wireless control and Wi-Fi 6 access points, with 65 wireless access points planned for office coverage.
This gave employees reliable wireless access across the workspace while supporting mobility, meetings, collaboration areas, and multimedia use.
For a modern Class-A office, Wi-Fi cannot be treated as a convenience layer. It is part of the main working environment.
The client needed to control who and what could connect to the network.
NNTC implemented Cisco ISE as the network access control platform for authentication and authorization.
This allowed the office network to enforce access policies based on user identity, device type, and access context.
The Cisco ISE setup included policy sets, identity sources, guest and sponsor portal flows, RADIUS and TACACS configuration areas, and endpoint access controls.
This helped the client improve network governance and reduce the risk of unmanaged devices connecting without proper control.
The new office still needed reliable access to centralized services hosted in two external datacenters: Etisalat and Equinix.
NNTC designed secure office-to-datacenter connectivity over internet transport using GRE over IPsec tunneling.
This allowed the new office locations to maintain access to centralized systems while using encrypted connectivity between the office and datacenter environments.
The design supported business continuity during the office move and helped avoid disruption to existing services.
NNTC deployed a VMware virtualized environment to support core office services and controlled future growth.
The environment included ESXi, vSwitching, vCenter, and VM inventory documentation.
This created a manageable server foundation for internal services while giving the client better visibility, flexibility, and operational control.
In parallel with the network and infrastructure build, NNTC deployed Avaya Aura 10 Enterprise as the client’s unified communications platform.
The telephony environment supported the Dubai offices and communication with international offices.
The deployment included Avaya System Manager, Session Manager, Communication Manager, H.323 components, SIP routing, dial plan configuration, trunks, gateways, and 400 Avaya IP phones.
This gave the client a corporate telephony foundation designed for internal communication, external calling, and wider inter-office connectivity.
The project was delivered within a 3-month window from contract to move-in readiness.
NNTC managed the work through parallel but coordinated streams.
The low-level design had to be finalized first. Procurement and rack placement had to be aligned. Core routing, security, and switching had to be deployed before wireless and NAC enforcement. Telephony services had to be configured and validated against the enterprise dial plan and SIP routing.
This sequencing helped reduce rework and kept cutover risk inside controlled windows.
The goal was simple: employees should move into the new offices and continue working without feeling the complexity behind the migration.
The client completed the move according to schedule and avoided the cost and disruption of extending leases at old office locations.
The final environment gave the company a secure, scalable, and modern IT foundation for its Class-A Dubai office.
The delivered platform included:
The result was a Class-A infrastructure foundation for a Class-A office environment.
NNTC helps organizations design and deploy complete office IT infrastructure for new offices, relocations, expansions, and enterprise workplace modernization projects.
Its services cover network architecture, Wi-Fi, cybersecurity, network access control, virtualization, datacenter connectivity, IP telephony, unified communications, and operational handover documentation.
For companies moving into new office spaces or consolidating teams across locations, NNTC delivers the infrastructure needed to support secure, connected, and move-in-ready operations.
