Engineers

Our vision of IT infrastructure: from physical to Cloud...

If it makes sense to keep your On-Premise solutions to access large volumes of data or for your critical business applications, private or hybrid Clouds offer many advantages:

Efficient data recovery
Innovation: access to the latest updates
Mobility: always accessible data, from any device
Increased collaboration: simplified document editing and sharing
Enhanced data security

When you use the Cloud, you need to implement a FinOps approach to optimize costs!

Case study of a 3-month project

Remanufacturing the entire worldwide servers of an industrial and technological group.
Redesign also means urbanization and security.

Scale:

Several tens of thousands of physical and virtual servers as well as Cloud (private, public with different providers)
Several dozen sites worldwide

Our missions:

Federate all the projects in progress on a common work axis: synchronize server downtime servers on action ranges
Intervene on private, public and hybrid clouds
Make the right decisions to secure all future actions
Maintain production while being able to adapt to other systems (portability)

Our constraints:

Succeed in creating a synergy between all the actors
Integrate the human side by working in a multicultural environment
Take into account the cruising speed of each site and of each technician

The goal:

Facilitate the work of the servers’ users
To date, the project has completed its design phase
