Modernization & operation of the network infrastructure

Wedl Handels GmbH, a traditional family business with around 1,400 employees and ten locations, focuses on quality, regionality and innovation. In order to raise its IT infrastructure to this level, the company opted for comprehensive IT outsourcing with managed services from Axians.

The aim was to renew the network landscape across the board and ensure reliable operation. From the head office in Mils to all C&C locations.

The challenge

  • Standardized network architecture at all locations
  • Future-proof performance and high availability
  • Central management and monitoring
  • Minimal impact on ongoing operations

The solution? A multi-stage migration project based on the latest Cisco Catalyst 9200 components with DNA software, combined with an end-to-end managed services concept from Axians.

More security. More availability. More time for your core business.

Thanks to the new infrastructure, Wedl can easily meet increasing performance requirements and at the same time raise IT security standards to a new level. The internal IT team is relieved, the availability of the systems increases significantly and the business processes benefit from a stable and powerful network basis.

The solution in detail: Cisco + Axians Managed Services

Use of technology:

  • Cisco Catalyst 9000 series (LAN switches with PoE for WLAN and IP telephony)
  • 10Gbit backbone for high data rates and performance
  • Redundancy concepts to increase system availability
  • Expandable architecture via stacking
  • Integration of modern security measures

Procedure:

The implementation was carried out in several phases at each location – in order to maintain business operations at all times. With the go-live at the first location, operational responsibility for the new network was fully transferred to Axians.

All-round support: Managed Services from Axians

After successful commissioning, Axians takes over the complete network operation:

  • 7/24 Monitoring & Incident Response
  • Change Management (Minor & Major)
  • Software and patch management
  • Lifecycle management & manufacturer processing (RMA)
  • Regular extensions & documentation maintenance

“With Axians, we have a partner that not only supplies state-of-the-art technology, but also thinks, grows and shapes the ongoing operation.”
