Case Study: Koelnmesse achieves maximum system performance and availability with Computacenter

Computacenter operates all Koelnmesse central applications within a virtualised storage environment

Koelnmesse GmbH, a major trade fair company, faced the need for a complete overhaul of its entire IT infrastructure when its existing contracts expired. The challenge involved supporting hundreds of employees and thousands of seasonal workers while ensuring the critical, secure operation of applications for its events, including its trade fair access and visitor information systems.

Computacenter designed a solution based on a Private Cloud hosted at its Frankfurt data center, utilizing a FlexPod architecture. The vendor managed all central applications, the ticket system, mobile device management, and provided on-site support. The partnership resulted in maximum system performance and availability, ensuring the smooth operation of all events. This successful outcome and the high quality of services led Koelnmesse to extend its contract and transfer more management tasks to Computacenter.
