Most of company’s investments were in connection with modernisation of mining<br />
equipment, i.e.: extraction and directional chain conveyor, as well as of the equipment for<br />
maintenance of the existing extraction equipment (especially hydraulic supports), extraction<br />
machines equipment and control and energy equipment. Investments in equipment for<br />
construction of pit roadways refer to purchase of steel arch supports, maintenance of<br />
road-headers, modernisation of coal transportation from preparation sites, comprising<br />
investment in the construction of pit roadways and in new band conveyors, as well as in<br />
large-scale maintenance of the existing ones. PV invested also in infrastructure upgrading<br />
and maintenance and in other pit and surface equipment.<br />
2.9.7 TET<br />
The appropriate bases for adopting a decision on a long-term solution of energy location<br />
of TET after 2015 were prepared also in 2012.<br />
2.10 IT<br />
Optimisation of the <strong>HSE</strong> Group data centre<br />
Within the scope of consolidation of system and application services, a review and<br />
optimisation of existing data capacities of individual <strong>HSE</strong> Group companies were carried<br />
out in 2012. The Group implemented contemporary mutual file system that enables<br />
disburdening of the Group’s HA production system for less demanding applications<br />
and data. Within the streamlining project, virtual library system was also introduced,<br />
enabling daily, monthly and annual generation and archiving of back-up copies on two<br />
locations, which was not possible with the previous technologically obsolete equipment.<br />
Such approach is important for the Group, especially in terms of controlled IT system<br />
management and simultaneous provision of backup.<br />
<strong>HSE</strong> IT security policy<br />
In 2012, the anti-virus protection within the framework of the ISO-27001 standard was<br />
updated and unified management of workstations was introduced, in the area of IT security.<br />
This solution enables also current monitoring of compliance of the installed software and<br />
patches, which additionally contributes to IT systems reliability.<br />
Consolidation of server and data structure of the <strong>HSE</strong> IT system<br />
Given the nature of its activity and organisation, <strong>HSE</strong> has several business locations, and<br />
its IT system is based on the same, complex structure. For this purpose, consolidation of<br />
server and data (production) infrastructure was carried out at the end of 2012 within the<br />
scope of ‘Open Architecture’, which comprises the standard open architecture without<br />
vendor lock-in. During the project performance, the <strong>HSE</strong> Group available system resources<br />
were taken into account – for establishment of HA centre DRC (Disaster Recovery Centre),<br />
new data and serves capacities in existing safe rooms were implemented, thanks to which<br />
synergy effects on cost and technological level were achieved. The new architecture<br />
enables access to system resources and data at the secondary location in the event of<br />
natural disasters or failure of the primary location, always and for all end-users.<br />
