Case Study: LOWA achieves greater stability and performance with Konica Minolta Europe

Lowa modernizes 40 VMs in 2 months with Konica Minolta Europe

The sport shoe manufacturer Lowa faced the challenge of refurbishing its aging server and storage infrastructure to improve fail-safe reliability, increase storage capacity, and boost performance, all while adhering to strong sustainability goals. Konica Minolta stepped in as a partner to develop and implement a sustainable, future-proof IT concept for the company.

Konica Minolta provided a uniform system environment, migrating virtual machines to Windows Server 2016 and implementing Office 365. They established mirrored systems in separate fire areas for resilience and introduced their SMART Managed Services for ongoing monitoring, patch management, and support. The results included significantly improved stability and performance, minimal downtime, and the ability to implement new projects. Additionally, the company's sustainability was enhanced by repurposing old hardware for backup and planning for future improvements to its energy balance.
