Proact Implemented Storage Environment for Swedish FordonsData Nordic

Proact IT Group has implemented a new storage
environment for FordonsData Nordic AB.

The solution increases data security and management capacity for business data.
Previous IT investments have also been protected and integrated into the new
solution. The agreement includes ongoing support from Proact.

FordonsData is
a Swedish IT company providing the automotive industry with complete business
system solutions covering; software, hardware, project management, training,
implementation and support. Some of the companies using FordonsDatas’ systems
are; Mercedes, BMW, Toyota and Sweden’s only authorized Ferrari reseller. The
operations have also evolved during later years and FordonsData also deliver
their solutions as a service.

"Accessibility in our IT infrastructure is
key for our business. Proact presented a solution which made it possible for us
to unlock the capacity our operation requires, and at the same protect our
existing investments," says Johan Thümmel, CIO, FordonsData.

To address
the needs of FordonsData, Proact presented a new solution for the primary
storage environment with deduplication capacity, enabling disc optimization.
FordonsDatas’ previous storage infrastructure has been integrated in the new
solution as a secondary storage site.

"The solution we have implemented provides a
significant increase in capacity with an entirely new primary site for the
storage environment. In addition to increased data security, FordonsData has
created better conditions for longer backup and at the same time decreased the
time for recovery. With the deduplication capacity FordonsData will also
optimize disc utilization. All in all, a smarter storage solution," says
Martin Õdman, regional manager, Proact.
