prego services develops and operates scalable, secure and future-proof IT and business solutions at the sites Saarbruecken and Ludwigshafen for medium-sized companies with focus on the sectors energy industry, public administration and health care. The comprehensive and tailor-made services in the areas information technology, human resources, materials management and purchase as well as energy-economic services are offered across all sectors, too. With the help of approximately 500 employees and a high-performing infrastructure prego services provides consulting, solutions and services from one single source.
prego services strengthens the location in Saarbruecken with the new highly-secure data center. “Open Skies One” offers companies a secure home for their data and represents the starting point for perfectly tailored services all around internet-based applications.
“Security, sustainability and efficiency build the company’s highest priority”, emphasizes Jürgen Kömen (team leader data center, prego services).
The company’s future-orientated strategy is also strengthened by the decision for the new stateof-the-art data center. The new data center offers space for 3,500 physical servers in cold-aisle containment, redundant power supply via multiple-redundant UPS systems, redundant supply of energy and data lines into the building, cable trays for the energy supply in the heavy-duty raised floor, cable trays for data lines as mesh tray system above the racks, 360 kW cooling capacity via modern cooling systems, a cold-aisle containment for high-efficient and temperature-homogeneous cold air supply to the server racks, a modular fire detection system with direct connection to the professional fire department, an early fire detection system via smoke aspiration system (SAS) as well as a modern extinguishing system with NOVEC™-1230 extinguishing gas.
“A failure of our IT would cause serious consequences. Thanks to the DCG solution we are well-prepared for the future”, points out Kömen. A large number of companies still hesitates to switch over to Office 365 from the Cloud as there are many providers who are processing and storing their customers‘ company data in server farms spread all over the world and all continents. "On the other hand, we assure our customers that their data remains completely in Germany, even with applications from Microsoft, SAP and other software manufacturers, and is therefore also subject to German laws. This allows our customers to use the extensive and sophisticated functions for online collaboration without having to worry about data protection regulations (GDPR) when hosting," emphasizes Kömen.
In opposite to this fact our customers can rest assured that their data will completely remain in Germany, even with applications from Microsoft, SAP and other software manufacturers and thus will also be subject to German law. By doing so our customers make use of the comprehensive and fully developed functions for online cooperation without worrying about regulations that are relevant for data protection (DSGVO) when hosting”, underlines Kömen.
Additionally, prego services uses “Open Skies One” as an official partner to picture the software infrastructures of large software manufacturers. A Microsoft Azure-Stack creates the preconditions to operate a hybrid and flexible infrastructure model to unite all levels – on premise, private Cloud and public Cloud. Specialists support the customers in shift operation for a smooth operation, day and night, 365 days a year. “We have decades of experience with critical networks in energy supply and transfer these high-security mechanisms to solutions for medium-sized companies”, affirms Peter Lieb (division manager sales and marketing, prego services GmbH).
