Fennia and NetNordic collaborate
Fennia’s business platforms must be operational 24/7/365. To ensure this, NetNordic implemented the modernization of data centers using Nutanix and Cohesity technologies, which guarantee a cost-effective, scalable, and fault-tolerant platform.
The role of ICT is very central at Fennia. The platforms of their business are monitored by Fennia’s own experts as well as consultants, ensuring that operations are available every day of the year. To ensure operational continuity, continuous maintenance from Fennia’s experts is also required.
Fault tolerance key in planning the outcome
For Fennia’s business, it is crucial to operate with fault-tolerant systems. Only in this way can they provide services to their customers around the clock—business continues regardless of the time.
The goal of modernizing Fennia’s data centers was to create a fault-tolerant, cost-effective, and scalable platform for their use. The new virtualization solution chosen was the modern and reliable Nutanix, and for the backups of this cluster, Cohesity was selected—this proved to be the most versatile option for Fennia’s needs after comparisons with all evaluated alternatives.
At the end of the project, the goals were “fully met,” according to Caj-Peter Koschin, Fennia’s IT Infrastructure Manager – “We built our own Private Cloud environment and can now live in a so-called hybrid world with cloud technology,” he states.
Collaboration plays a significant role
NetNordic played an active role in every phase of the project—NetNordic’s experts designed and defined the overall solution and participated in the implementation in collaboration with Fennia’s experts.
After a well-coordinated project, NetNordic’s central role has remained permanent in Fennia’s daily operations. The collaboration continued in the form of ongoing services, as part of Fennia’s expert network.
Throughout the entire project, NetNordic's experts were available whenever needed. The collaboration with NetNordic went so well that we also made an agreement for ongoing services after the project. We are very satisfied with the service we received regarding both the Nutanix and Cohesity platforms.
