Lechler GmbH is a family-owned company from Metzingen in Baden-Württemberg and the market leader for nozzles and nozzle systems in Europe. Lechler's products are used in environmental technology as well as in the agricultural and steel industries and are thus represented worldwide. Lechler employs around 700 people with production sites in the USA, China, India and Hungary and sales offices throughout Europe.
As the IT infrastructure had not previously been set up redundantly, the air conditioning technology was outdated and a move to a new building was pending, Lechler turned to Data Center Group (DCG). DC IT Safe exactly met Lechler's requirements for a modular and mobile data center solution, which is why they chose the product. A second safe was built for the smart control of production in the manufacturing hall.
"We host part of the world. We have systems that are accessed by our employees in the USA, India or Malaysia. A failure of the IT infrastructure would lead to considerable delays in our work processes," explains Patrick Schur, who is responsible for Lechler's server infrastructure, emphasising the importance of a redundant setup. "In addition, business process control, virtual machines, the VPN and email security also run via the data center."
The project was completed within only 10 weeks despite delivery bottlenecks. DCG took over the technology as well as project management with a subsequent maintenance and service contract.
With the decision in favour of DC IT Safes, Lechler can now relax and complete the move into the new building complex. The company is also prepared for future developments: if necessary, the DC IT Safe can be easily expanded in a modular way.
"The implementation went smoothly. Lechler did not have any extra work during the repair of the data center. We can now relax and plan our move," adds Patrick Schur.
