Project Overview

The new state-of-the-art 12-story, 360,000 SF courthouse will have the latest in networking and high-tech audio-videosystems inside courtrooms, including a transcription recording system and touch screens used to control audio andvideo. Cyber security designs involved intrusion protection firewall and virtual access hardening of the 10 gigabitcapacity network infrastructure.

Professional System Engineering, LLC developed and prepared the RFPs and equipment purchase lists required topurchase the courts Information Technology and Communications FF&E Technology package. This included the courtstelephone system, data network, computers, servers, and distributed antenna system.

PSE found, while reviewing the 19th JDC’s legacy systems, the courts relied on multiple single core servers. PSEpresented a technology plan that employed a virtual server cluster to greatly reduce data center’s space, power, andcooling requirements.

PSE filled a unique role acting as technical liaison for the Administrative office of the Courts. PSE demonstrated a uniqueability to translate the highly technical into easy to manage concepts. This helped the AOC and project architect tostayon top of the project and make informed decisions throughout the project.
