Access control stabilization and a full core network rebuild across a multi-tower complex

  • Multi-tower complex
  • One C•CURE instance
  • Fully redundant per-tower networks

The problem

A single C•CURE 9000 instance controlled access for every tower in the complex and integrated with Genetec. The elevator integration was crashing and the system had memory faults. I was brought in to find out why and fix it.

What I did

  • Traced the failures to a combination of software faults and configuration problems inside C•CURE rather than the elevator interface everyone suspected.
  • Re-architected the C•CURE virtual environment so the towers have real redundancy between them instead of a single point of failure controlling the whole complex.
  • Rebuilt the core network for the entire complex: each tower on its own fully redundant network with modular HPE Aruba switching.
  • Deployed dynamic routing across the towers with full multicast support, tuned for CCTV traffic.

Where it landed

The elevator integration and memory faults resolved at the cause, and a complex that no longer loses access control across every tower because one instance had a bad day.

Engagements like this start with a call about what you are actually dealing with. No hardware, no software, and no installation is sold here, which is the independence policy in one line.
