Evolution

Initiation of Managed Services for infrastructure management.

Launching the first project to renew its IT infrastructure.

Fidia is again renewing its IT infrastructure with the support of Deda Cloud.

SCENARIO
Revamp your IT infrastructure, moving from traditional technology to a hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) solution.
Fidia for more than 75 years has been among the world’s leading companies in the production of hyaluronic acid products; it is characterized by complete control of the supply chain, from research to marketing, which is why it calls itself a fully integrated company.
The company faces the market every day with passion, developing therapeutic solutions with high added value to respond adequately to the new challenges of health and well-being.
To comply with these principles while ensuring efficacy and safety, Fidia invests in its manufacturing capabilities by selecting new technologies, improving existing ones and increasing its production flexibility.
Meeting these standards requires ongoing commitment, but more importantly, an appropriate partner to accompany the company toward high-level goals.
Hence the need for Fidia to revamp its IT infrastructure, based on traditional technology, by switching to a hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) solution to simplify the management of its IT environment and improve future scalability.
The goal was to implement high reliability logic, spread over two sites, within the same Abano campus.
With this solution, Fidia is investing in the future by laying the groundwork for new Disaster Recovery projects, which are crucial in today’s market.
The ideal partner had to be perfectly familiar with the technologies of the pre-existing infrastructure, propose a reliable solution, have availability in the choice of hardware, know the business reality, and be flexible.
All characteristics in line with Deda Cloud’s operations.
In particular, the deep knowledge of the infrastructural part, which was the subject of the technical analysis, combined with the excellent support that Deda Cloud has shown to Fidia over the years and the constant presence of the Nutanix vendor during the analysis phases, made us natural interlocutors for the implementation of Fidia’s project.
Proposal and solution

Deda Cloud’s proposal is the result of analysis, listening, and collaboration with the customer and vendor Nutanix.

 

The project team defined the client’s goal, accompanying the client through the various implementation steps and smoothly overcoming the obstacles that arose.
Fundamental was the human, continuous and direct relationship with the technicians, who followed the customer’s requests, accompanying them step by step. Our technical team acted expeditiously, conveying confidence and full control of the situation. In addition, the good teamwork between Deda Cloud and the vendor Nutanix enabled the release of the new production system ahead of schedule.
Two were the winning elements:

  1. The extreme ease of use of the Nutanix architecture, which allows complete control of the infrastructure;
  2. The presence of Deda Cloud as a supplier at all stages: a guarantee of the safe success of the project.

The customer focus and listening-oriented approach that Deda Cloud had during the project phase really impressed me.
The specialists who followed us showed professionalism and great humanity, helping us define the best solution for our needs.
We are truly satisfied!
