Case Study: iba AG achieves faster performance and disaster recovery with Proact

iba AG quadruples simultaneous test systems with Proact

iba AG, a medium-sized company specializing in measurement and automation systems, faced performance and reliability challenges with its IT infrastructure due to growing data volumes. This slowdown impacted data access and backup processes, prompting the company to seek a data center redesign. Partnering with vendor Proact, iba sought a solution to improve performance, increase availability, and prepare for future requirements.

Proact implemented a solution using products from Fujitsu, NetApp, Veeam, and VMware, creating two identically equipped data centers for disaster recovery. The results were immediate, with iba quadrupling its number of simultaneous test systems and improving process quality by a factor of three. The new infrastructure used two-thirds less storage, delivered a significant performance jump, simplified administration, and allowed for data recovery within minutes. Proact also provided project management and Premium Support to ensure seamless operation.
