“Investments in Green IT will clearly pay off for us. Within three years,
thanks to the HP ProLiant server blade and Microsoft virtualisation
technology, we will already have achieved our Return on Investment (ROI)
for the project, primarily through savings in electricity and air-conditioning
costs. That is what convinced our management to go ahead with it in the
first place.” Peter Klemmer, head of IT at DS Dichtungstechnik
DS Dichtungstechnik GmbH produces and distributes
sealing products, for example accessories for channel
construction. The main objective of the organisation is
to accommodate the intermittently strong concentration
process involved in sewage management and to
provide pipe and duct manufacturers with a complete
range of sealing products, reliably, with efficient
distribution logistics and perfect service. Founded in
1983, the international firm is growing continuously.
Today, it employs almost 100 employees, some of them
in distribution centres in Poland, the Czech Republic,
Slovakia and Austria.

Many IT failures and outages
The IT infrastructure had developed side-by-side with
the growth of the business but much of it no longer
met current demands. For example, the network
consisted of switches that were intended only for Small
Office Home Office (SOHO) applications, the server
landscape was heterogeneous and data storage was
decentralised. Therefore, employees used inconsistent
communication protocols that were hosted externally

high administrative and electrical costs as well
as a rigorous overhaul of the heterogeneous IT
infrastructure and optimisation of the
communication system. At the same time, the
pre-requisites for eventual conversion to a new
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) System had
to be met.
