The Memorial & Museum serves as the United States’ principal
remembrance and tribute to the victims and heroes of the terrorist
attacks on the World Trade Center and other locations on Sept. 11,
2001 and the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center on Feb. 26,
1993. The Memorial & Museum complex documents and explores the
impact and the continued significance of those attacks. It has
attracted more than 18 million visitors from 175 nations and all 50
U.S. states.
To support the creative design of the complex – which occupies
110,000 square feet of exhibition space underground, displays
nearly 12,500 artifacts and hosts more than 10,000 visitors a day –
Accenture helped develop a robust IT infrastructure for the
Museum’s digital exhibition that spans three floors, below
ground.
Delivery of the IT system included:
- Deployment of a comprehensive wired and
wireless network;
- Installation and implementation of a
virtualized infrastructure to run the Memorial & Museum
operations;
- Deployment of a powerful cellular
distributed antennae system;
- Development and implementation of
operational procedures to support daily operations; and
- Implementation of a network, systems
and service management framework to manage IT infrastructure and
applications.
“Accenture is honored to be part of the team which helped create
the National September 11 Memorial & Museum, commemorating
these tragic events,” said Johnny Cavaliero, Accenture’s managing
director leading the firm’s work for government and nonprofit
organizations in New York. “We are proud to have brought our IT
solutions to support the telling of important stories honoring
those who were lost and help ensure the events are never
forgotten.”
Key elements of the Museum visitors’ experience include the
digital historical and memorial exhibitions, told through personal
artifacts, photographs, audio and video footage, and first-person
testimonials. To protect these exhibits, the Accenture team also
established primary connectivity and data backup with an offsite
data center for disaster recovery.
The Memorial opened on Sept. 12, 2011, the day after the tenth
anniversary of the attacks, and the Museum opened on May 21,
2014.
