Cisco Cisco UCS B200 M2 Blade Server Guia De Informação
Originally Galliker Transport AG only intended to upgrade its bandwidth to 10 gigabit
per second in the core network of the data center at the company’s headquarters
in Altishofen, Switzerland. The most cost-efficient long-term option was to use
highly scalable Cisco Nexus® 7000 Series Switches, a key component of a wider
architectural approach based on the Cisco® Data Center Business Advantage
framework. Interested to find out more about this innovative concept, Galliker’s IT
specialists decided to install the Cisco Unified Computing System™ (UCS). The
solution delivers four times the performance previously provided by the entire
computer room with its 11 server cabinets. It also means that the IT team can now
provide virtual machines with far greater flexibility than before, with a fraction of the
work that was previously involved.

Galliker truck/trailer combinations and articulated trucks are a common sight on
the motorways throughout almost the entire European Union. The forwarding
and logistics company in Altishofen has been a family-run business for three
generations, and the impressive expansion strategy pursued by Galliker in recent
years has enabled it to become a leading player in the European logistics sector.
In addition to the headquarters in the canton of Lucerne, Switzerland, it has 17
subsidiaries in six European countries. The company used horse-drawn vehicles
when it started up over 90 years ago; its fleet now comprises about 810 trucks,
1300 trailers, and 90 delivery vans. Galliker’s largely automated logistics centers
occupy a total area of over 320,000 square meters, and the company currently
has about 2100 employees across Europe.

However, the secret of Galliker’s success cannot just be expressed in figures; far
more important is the uncompromising quality of all the storage and transportation
services that it offers. Quite apart from the relevant International Organization for
Standardization (ISO) certificates, this quality is reflected primarily in the reactions
of its customers. A recent example is the “European Carrier Award” received by
Galliker in 2009 from the car manufacturer Daimler in the car transportation sector.
The name of the Swiss company is also seen as a quality brand in the frozen foods
sector, where Galliker guarantees an uninterrupted cold chain through different
ranges of temperature across all transport and delivery stages.
