IT and Infrastructure

The OLG Infrastructure has been developed and built up by its own in house team. All desktop computers are built up by the IT Department to custom specifications dictated by the software required. This allows us to save costs by only providing what is required, it also allows us to keep common spares should any parts show signs of degradation or failure. All cabling and interconnects are carried out internally.

Custom Building

Custom building also extends the shelf life of the workstation as individual components, such as hard disks, can be upgraded as they begin to slow down or start deteriorating or if changes to software requirements change as new versions are released.

Our Network

We manage our network internally, major upgrades to its infrastructure are carried out by third party approved suppliers under the direction of the team. We maintain the day to day running of the network and continually measure and monitor its performance. Preventative maintenance is all carried out internally as well as scoping out potential upgrades.
