Requirements

A new service provider was to holistically optimize and modernize Aurubis' IT infrastructure. The existing network infrastructure at three national and international sites consisted of over 500 systems from several manufacturers as well as an office network. This had to be restructured and reorganized. The requirement was an availability of the infrastructure of 99%.

Services & Solutions

  • Analysis of the existing IT infrastructure (as-is/target analysis)
  • Execution of workshops and coordination with the specialist departments
  • Harmonization of the IT landscape. Expertise of several manufacturers such as Cisco, Riverbed, Juniper and Fortinet enables us to provide a holistic service (24x7)
  • Introduction of FNT Command to gain complete visibility into IT and telecom infrastructure, accelerate day-to-day business processes and achieve better operational reliability
  • Introduction of a CAB process with the aim of carrying out all IT infrastructure adjustments continuously, efficiently and while minimizing risks
  • Managed service contract (monitoring, reporting, CSI, operation, replacement, change, project support and project management)

Advantages & Benefits

The customer benefits from the new, optimized and future-proof IT infrastructure as well as from the expertise of certified Controlware service managers and technicians and can concentrate on its own core tasks. Through 24x7 support, Controlware provides accompanying consulting services that secure and increase the customer's processes and level of automation. With the introduction of FNT, the basis of a documentation of the passive and active network infrastructure is created. Thus, the basis for a future-proof development of a digital infrastructure is given.
