SIEN’s IT infrastructure is based on Dell Poweredge 760 and Powerstore servers, underpinned by a VMware virtualization infrastructure. At the request of one of its customers, who wanted to overhaul its business application in Kubernetes, SIEN found itself faced with a new challenge. “At the time, we had no infrastructure dedicated to this request. So we initially created all this under a Linux system with complex, manual management that didn’t give us vision over our infrastructure.”
Our objective was to support our customer in getting to grips with his infrastructure, so as to ensure control of all the components dedicated to the implementation of this new application, by implementing updates, proposing an autonomous and bulletproof process enabling the deployment of future containers and their lifecycles in the system. All this while ensuring optimum application security and avoiding side-effects.
The solution.
After analyzing the SIEN’s infrastructure and its level of maturity in terms of its various components, it became clear to us that VMware’s Tanzu solution, supported by Dell Poweredge servers, was the best choice, meeting our customer’s requirements in every respect and fitting in perfectly with the existing infrastructure. We then supported our customer in the installation and deployment of VMware Tanzu, and helped him to master the solution. We remained available and reactive, responding to requests and needs after our intervention, so that the SIEN IT teams could get to grips with the system as smoothly as possible.
« The knowledge, responsiveness, agility and flexibility of Bechtle’s experts enabled us to successfully complete this innovative and far-reaching project. The deployment at our 2 sites in Neuchâtel and La Chaux-de-Fonds was a success. Thanks to the availability and know-how of Bechtle’s experts, our teams quickly familiarized themselves with these new solutions.»

« Containerizing part of our applications with Tanzu gives us a number of advantages: agility and flexibility, ease of management thanks to the single Vcenter console, ease and speed of deployment of new applications, and a response to a new trend as more and more business applications come to us in the form of containers. For us, this is the future. » concludes Andrea Rizzo.
