"Over the past few years, the systems have greatly exceeded the performance we had hoped for according to the PoC. Virtualization made it possible to minimize the transfer of CAD data, which significantly increases the application's performance and security. "We especially appreciate the ability to work in close partnership with Fujitsu's consultants, who are always on hand with helpful advice," confirms Karsten EhrlichĪpproximately 300 applications run on the IT infrastructure, including the proALPHA ERP system and the Creo 3D CAD application, which Harro Höfliger uses to design packaging systems.

Fujitsu is therefore continuously expanding the existing infrastructure and has increased the number of nodes from 10 to 21 in recent years. Due to vigorous expansion, Harro Höfliger needed additional capacities in order to support the stricter requirements. The entire company has also long relied on other Fujitsu products, such as the ETERNUS AF 250 storage solution, as well as workplace products such as LIFEBOOK notebooks and CELSIUS workstations. The integrated PRIMEFLEX Solution Support package covers all components of the solution, offers a fast response to potential disturbances, and thereby ensures stable IT operation. Harro Höfliger can thus very quickly and flexibly scale computing or storage capacities within a short period of time. FUJITSU PRIMERGY RX2540 servers are uses as the hardware base.

This is an integrated system that combines computing, storage, software and network resources in one system and which is configured and administered centrally via the VMware vCenter management tool.

In 2018, the Select Expert Partner EBF Systec developed a concept for changing over to a hyper-converged IT infrastructure with PRIMEFLEX for VMware vSAN.
