About Genzyme
Founded in 1981, Genzyme has been present in
France since 1994. The group's activities are
concentrated on developing pioneering
technologies in life sciences. This includes every
stage of biomedicine development, from the
earliest stages of research to clinical trials and
regulatory issues, through to manufacturing and
sales.
The Genzyme Polyclonals company now has
about 280 employees, at its current production
site in Marcy L'Etoile (near Lyon) and its new
facility in the Gerland district of Lyon, which will
eventually be home to all of the firm's activities.
To meet growing production needs, the
management of Genzyme decided to construct
a new production site. The new site, equipped
with technologically cutting-edge hardware and
infrastructure, meets the needs of the
pharmaceuticals sector in terms of quality and
security on every point. Catherine Porte,

After a preliminary selection of potential providers,
the project manager, network administrator,
purchasing and quality departments put together
very precise specifications, including strict
selection criteria inherent to the pharmaceuticals
industry, including requirements for technical
quality, project cost, references in the
pharmaceutical industry, maintenance, and more.

In addition to these requirements, INEO owns a
group of specialist firms in several areas. "We
were looking for a provider who would be able to
provide the full range of solutions," Porte
explains. "Cisco has an effective approach to
networking. They had us test out a simulation of
the data center at our premises, which allowed
us to be immediately up and running on-site."
The director of IT at the time of the project also
highlights the quality of support and advice
given by the manufacturer and the provider:
"Our contacts wanted to find the best solutions
to satisfy both the group and the needs of the
new facility."

In order to respond to the mobility challenges of
the building and its various production and office
spaces, a secure WiFi infrastructure was
installed. The group also decided to implement a
NAS infrastructure:
