Customer Case Study
“Cisco CleanAir provides automatic detection and rerouting of wireless traffic in case
of interference,” says Buchholz. “That’s very important for a firm based in a small
town, with many potential sources of radio interference close by.” Wireless security
was boosted with the Cisco Secure Access Control System for improved centralized
management, policy control, and user authentication.

A new WAN design, equipped with Cisco Catalyst® 6500, 3750X, and 2960S
Series Switches, protects the manufacturing network from suspicious traffic and
potential threats, such as from the Internet. Delivering 1Gbps Ethernet speeds
for instant access to information, people, and tools, the new design also includes
two new points of presence in North America and China, introduced to reduce
potential latency. Cisco ASA 5500 Adaptive Security Appliances help ensure
effective, always-on security, and firewall services across wired, wireless, and
virtual private networks.

Hansgrohe’s integration partner, Euromicron, played a key role in the implementation,
bringing a global focus to the project under the guidance of its head of sales, Markus
Wolfer. “We have a long relationship with Euromicron and it works very well,” says
Buchholz. “Euromicron has excellent, in-depth experience of Cisco products and
can manage them remotely all over the world.”

Results
Benefiting from a single-vendor solution at home and abroad, Hansgrohe is also
achieving greater business agility with a platform that helps enable swift expansion
at a less expense. Thanks to its Cisco Borderless Network, the manufacturer
enjoys higher levels of standardization, together with cohesive global operations,
management simplicity, and lower running costs.

“We are opening new subsidiaries every year,” says Buchholz. “So we needed a
partner who could deliver to any country in the world. With an end-to-end Cisco
solution and a single global service provider, we now have standardized features
worldwide, along with a common out-of-the-box approach for setting up in new
territories very quickly.” The company’s latest new office in South Africa looks set
to maintain or exceed impressive 2011 sales growth of 10.3 percent.

Moreover, growing the business no longer means taking more risks. “It’s easier now
to ensure continuous operations,” says Buchholz. The potential for malicious network
traffic to disrupt the production process has been greatly reduced by segregating
the enterprise and manufacturing domains.

“Our Cisco Borderless Network offers a high level of integration and a clear view of
management in all locations,” Buchholz adds. “That’s of great value to us in terms
of increasing IT performance and efficiency. For example, globally we have at least
99.9 percent network availability and, here in Germany, it’s nearly 100 percent.”

Having initially deployed BYOD to remote sales teams working on smartphones and
iPads, Hansgrohe SE is considering extending the deployment to other parts of the
business. The manufacturer is set to extend its Cisco Unified Wireless Network from
50 to 150 access points and is constantly finding new ways to leverage its investment.
For example, Hansgrohe is introducing wireless barcode scanners to provide real
time updates for stock control and provide better supply chain visibility.
