The server part is based on x86 platform servers manufactured by Hewlett-Packard Enterprise (HPE) (HPE Synergy 480 Gen10, DL380Gen10, DL380Gen8).

           Information storage models are:

          – HPE (3Par StoreServ 8400, 3Par StoreServ 7200, MSA2050, MSA2040).

          The Storage Area Network (SAN) is based on HPE SN3000B and Dell Connectrix DS-6620B switches.

          The general network infrastructure is based on:

          – a two-device Fortinet FG-600F cluster containing VPN and Firewall modules for Internet connectivity, which provides access control to Internet sites and protects the Department's IT infrastructure from complex threats and malicious attacks (botnets, targeted attacks, APT and zero-day attacks);

          – FortiMail-VM virtual appliance for protecting email servers;

          – an internal router (built on a Unix server) to support the local computer network of the Office.

          The local computer network includes a set of HPE Aruba 8320, HPE Aruba 2930M, HPE Aruba 2540-48, HP 2530-48, HP 2510-48, FortiSwitch-448E switches and is divided into fifty virtual networks (Vlan).

          The server infrastructure is fully virtualized. The physical servers run Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2019 and VMware ESXi, which allow to create and operate the productive virtual servers. The virtualization servers are grouped into Hyper-V clusters, which allow for high availability of productive servers running Microsoft Windows Server 2019, Microsoft Windows Server 2016, Microsoft Windows Server 2012R2, Microsoft Windows Server 2012, Microsoft Windows Server 2008R2 and CentOS 7.

          The database management systems used are MS SQL Server 2017, MS SQL Server 2016, MS SQL Server 2014, MS SQL 2008R2, MS SQL 2005, PostgreeSQL, MySQL.

          The Active Directory (AD) domain structure is designed to allow the centralized management of all information resources, including users’, computers, files, peripherals, access to services, network resources, websites, databases, etc.

          Several domain controllers are used to organize the fault tolerance of the domain structure.

          The WSUS server provides updates to the operating systems of servers and client computers.

          The ESET Antivirus Server provides centralized management of all anti-virus programs on users’ computers, updates antivirus databases, and generates reports on database updates and existing threats.

          Data is backed up using Veeam's Veeam Backup & Replication software product, which provides continuous data protection for reliable recovery of Windows and servers. There is a disaster recovery plan for all servers and services.

          Other Microsoft System Center 2019 products are also used, namely: Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM) for virtualization management, System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) 2012R2 for operating system installation and software configuration.

          The measures taken to develop the IT infrastructure in the current period were aimed at building the fail-safe core of the computer network, increasing its bandwidth, security and manageability, replacing outdated hardware components of the infrastructure, consolidating and virtualizing servers. Virtualization servers are clustered to ensure high availability of all systems.

          In total, the corporate network consists of 690 personal computers, 25 physical and 165 virtual servers, 6 data storages and various switching equipment.

          In 2025, a centralized document printing system was implemented, based on the Xerox XWS print management system and Xerox® VersaLink® B7135 Series multifunction devices.
