Swiss based bank uses the Argent V50 Data Vault for rack level security
Argent provides updates on new products, new installations, design innovations and tips on security enclosures
See the patented Argent V50 Data Vault at the 2022 BICSI Australia Conference
Argent is a member of BICSI South Pacific, and a sponsor of the 2022 BICSI Australia conference to be held on Monday 14th to Wednesday 16th November 2022 at Randwick Racecourse in Sydney.
BICSI South Pacific is a not-for-profit association supporting designers and installers of information and communication technologies (ICT) for residential, commercial and government applications. This industry encompasses not only voice and data, including outside plant and LAN, but also audio, video, life safety, and automation systems.
The 2022 BICSI Conference theme is ‘Foundations for Future Networks’. There will be Australian and International thought-leaders and subject-matter-experts from universities, government departments, property developers, hospitals, architecture firms and major corporations to share their vision in the deployment of networks for digital technologies to be applied to some of our greatest challenges.
Get the latest insights on Information Technology, Digital Healthcare, Smart Buildings/Cities, Internet of Things (IoT), Cyber Security, ICT Infrastructure and Workplace Safety and Wellbeing; see the latest ICT Infrastructure products and services from the country’s leading suppliers.
Argent Australian manufacturing
Argent is a specialist in secure enclosure design and manufacture. Security of data resources has never been more important. Visitors to the 2022 conference can see the Australian designed and manufactured V50 Data vault installed in a server rack.
Argent has recently supplied a consignment of the V50 Data Vault to a Swiss based bank. The unique patented design allows for a security keyed, lockable enclosures to be retro fitted into a 19” server rack.
Also on display at the 2022 conference will be an Argent SCEC Class C server rack, complete with secure cable entries. Visitors will be able to speak with the industrial designers for feedback on SCEC specifications and guidance with B & C Class enclosures.

Argent can assist clients with designs before manufacturing of the server rack commences.
100% Australian designed and manufactured – no supply chain delays
At the heart of the MOC are Argent’s custom-built server racks — designed to withstand vibration, shock, and rapid setup cycles.
“All of our server racks are designed to pull all the way out and spin so that you’ve got easy access to both the front and the rear,” Dunn noted.
Each rack can be fully removed to allow clients such as Southern Launch to install their own mission hardware, creating a secure, modular computing environment ready to run launch simulations, satellite operations, or payload control within an hour.
We took one of our existing, popular, and high-performance Argent rack designs and re-engineered it to create a bespoke version for CSIRO,” said Humberto Mesa, Senior Design Engineer at Opie Manufacturing Group.
The new rack features shock-absorbing mounts so it can be safely mounted on a truck, and we also improved the pull-out and rotation mechanism for smoother, more durable operation. It’s a small redesign — but one that makes a big difference in performance and reliability.
Seamless Integration with Varley’s Manufacturing Excellence
The MOC was built at Varley’s Brisbane facility, a project that exemplifies Australian collaboration across manufacturing, research, and advanced engineering. Argent’s precision-engineered rack systems were integrated into Varley’s structure to host critical compute, comms, and data systems — providing unmatched access, stability, and safety.
Through this partnership, local expertise from Opie Manufacturing Group and Varley has helped CSIRO establish a deployable mission control hub capable of supporting both commercial launches and STEM outreach for students across Australia.

A Backbone for the Next Generation of Missions
With redundant 4G, 5G, UHF/VHF, and satellite communications, solar-backed power, and complete off-grid capability, the MOC is built for continuous uptime — and Argent’s robust rack systems are its backbone.
Whether operating in the desert, coastal environments, or at launch sites thousands of kilometres apart, these racks safeguard the systems that power flight telemetry, trajectory data, and secure communications.

Conclusion:
Argent’s involvement in the CSIRO MOC highlights how precision metal fabrication and smart engineering make innovation possible. From the shop floor in Western Sydney to the frontier of space, Argent racks carry the weight of Australia’s most advanced missions.
Argent — Supporting Australia’s space ambitions, one rack at a time.
