Case Study: Kramer & Crew GmbH & Co. KG achieves flexible, compliant private‑cloud services and increased client satisfaction with Hitachi Vantara

Kramer & Crew Sees Client Satisfaction Soar to the Clouds With Hitachi Solution

Kramer & Crew GmbH & Co. KG, an owner‑operated German IT services firm, faced rapidly growing client demand for flexible, cost‑effective cloud services while needing to keep data local and compliant for regulated industries. To build private and hybrid cloud offerings, Kramer & Crew partnered with Hitachi Vantara to deploy a converged infrastructure—including Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform G series and Hitachi Compute Blade 500—supporting Microsoft Hyper‑V and Windows Azure Pack for IaaS delivery.

Working with Hitachi Vantara, Kramer & Crew implemented a unified private‑cloud platform that lets clients consume on‑demand CrewCloud services from a German DataCenter. The Hitachi Vantara solution delivered the scalability, availability and compliance Kramer & Crew required, helping the company win new clients (especially in banking and financial services), move more systems to the cloud month‑over‑month, and plan a second redundant Crew DataCenter to further grow capacity and business continuity.
