Confident. Secure. Scalable. <\/h2>\n\n
At a time when reliability, data sovereignty, and compliance are key requirements for IT infrastructures, we are setting new standards: We are the only provider in Austria to offer an IBM Power Cloud based on a highly available three-site concept\u2014fully implemented in certified Austrian data centers and adhering to the highest security standards. Together with our German sister company, IT-PS Deutschland, we thus offer a high-performance solution for customers throughout the DACH region. Our platform meets the highest requirements for availability, performance, and sovereignty\u2014while ensuring full control in accordance with applicable EU law. <\/p>\n\n
Three locations. One promise: maximum availability. <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n
Our new setup enhances the previous redundant design with a third, strategically located site\u2014thereby creating a true three-site model for maximum availability. All three data centers are connected via dedicated, path-redundant fiber-optic links using DWDM technology and offer:<\/p>\n\n
\n
Geographic separation based on metropolitan distance (e.g., Danube North\/South, different electricity providers)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Redundant IBM Power servers at each location<\/li>\n\n\n\n
3-Site Storage Concept for High Availability and Disaster Resilience Two sites are primarily used for production and each house a network node, while the third site focuses on tape backups and disaster recovery (DR) infrastructure.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
State-of-the-art technology<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n
Our infrastructure includes:<\/p>\n\n
\n
IBM Power10 server<\/li>\n\n\n\n
IBM SAN Volume Controller<\/li>\n\n\n\n
IBM FlashSystem 9500 Enterprise Storage<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Lenovo x86-based VMware clusters for flexible virtualization<\/li>\n\n\n\n
IBM Tape Libraries for Physical Backups with an Air Gap<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Redundant Fibre Channel and network switches<\/li>\n\n\n\n
SIEM Monitoring of the Entire Cloud Environment<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
A special security feature we offer: IBM Safe Guarded Copy\u2014a backup copy of your critical production data that cannot be deleted or modified. This enables us to restore the system to its original state in the shortest possible time in the event of an emergency\u2014even in the case of targeted attacks. <\/p>\n\n
Scalability Meets Security<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n
Thanks to generous capacity and performance reserves, we can respond flexibly to your needs\u2014whether you\u2019re experiencing growth, undergoing a migration, or facing new compliance requirements. At the same time, you\u2019ll benefit from: <\/p>\n\n
\n
Synchronous Data Replication on Enterprise Storage Systems<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Physical air gap created by tapes stored at separate locations<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Optional 3-tier backup strategy upon request<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
Who is this relevant for?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n
Our services are designed for companies in the DACH region with the highest standards for availability, security, and compliance\u2014in particular:<\/p>\n\n
\n
All companies to which NIS2 and DORA apply<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Industrial companies with critical production systems<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Public contracting authorities that prioritize data sovereignty and require data to be stored exclusively in Austria, or those subject to country-specific requirements in Germany<\/li>\n\n\n\n
IT departments with IBM Power workloads or a need to modernize legacy systems<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Organizations that need to respond flexibly to changing requirements regarding performance, storage, or compliance as part of digital transformation projects\u2014such as those driven by NIS2 or growing data volumes<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Companies that need temporary additional capacity or computing power, e.g., for migrations, seasonal peaks, or new applications<\/li>\n\n\n\n
