Hybrid data center & cloud
The company is a leading force in industrial shredding technology and enjoys an outstanding reputation. The brand is recognized for its first-class products, excellent customer service and pioneering innovations. It combines economic success with social responsibility and plays a significant role in protecting the environment.
Business Challenge
The company has numerous distributed locations but only one physical data center. One of the most pressing requirements is to ensure high availability and disaster recovery in order to guarantee the continuous operation of business-critical systems at all these locations.
In addition, the focus is on services such as Kubernetes, which are not ideally suited to an on-premises solution due to their specific requirements and scalability. A flexible and scalable cloud infrastructure is crucial here to ensure the smooth operation of these services.
Solution
By introducing the hybrid or multi-cloud option, the company was able to successfully cover all of its customer's needs. This strategy offers a comprehensive solution that creates an optimal balance between local infrastructure and cloud resources. A hybrid data center provides the company with an extremely flexible IT infrastructure that it can adapt to its requirements.
Overall, the implementation of a hybrid data center offers a comprehensive solution that meets the company's needs in terms of high availability, scalability, cost optimization and flexibility. This enables the company to respond to changes in an agile manner while at the same time taking advantage of the benefits of cloud usage.
The consolidation of the main physical data center and several small server rooms in the locations led to significantly less effort in operations.
