Rosenberger OSI migrates IT systems from Helmholtz Munich

Rosenberger OSI has successfully completed the migration of around 500 IT systems of the Helmholtz Center Munich. The project included a comprehensive inventory as well as the expansion, transport, reinstallation, and recabling of the hardware. This measure is part of the strategic initiative to modernize and optimize the IT infrastructure of the Helmholtz Center.

The migration included not only servers but also switches and other IT components that are crucial for the operation of the research center. By relocating to a colocation data center, higher availability and security of the systems are ensured. This is particularly important for the research activities conducted at the Helmholtz Center Munich.

Details of the Migration

The migration was carried out in several phases to ensure a smooth transition. Initially, a detailed inventory of all IT components was conducted to accurately determine the scope of the project. This was followed by the expansion of the systems, followed by transport to the new data center.

After transport, the systems were reinstalled and recabled. This process required close collaboration between the technical teams of Rosenberger OSI and the Helmholtz Center to ensure that all systems were properly configured and operational. The migration was completed within the specified timeframe.

Benefits of the New Infrastructure

The relocation to a colocation data center offers numerous benefits for the Helmholtz Center Munich. These include improved security measures, higher energy efficiency, and the ability to flexibly scale IT resources. These factors help optimize operating costs and enhance the performance of the IT systems.

Furthermore, the new infrastructure allows for better support of the research projects conducted at the Helmholtz Center. Researchers benefit from a more stable and powerful IT environment, enabling them to carry out their work more efficiently and effectively. The migration is thus an important step towards a future-proof IT strategy.

Rosenberger OSI has proven to be a competent partner for this migration by bringing its expertise in IT infrastructure and project management. The successful implementation of the project underscores Rosenberger OSI's ability to realize complex IT projects while adhering to the highest standards.

The Helmholtz Center Munich is one of the leading research centers in Germany, focusing on the study of diseases such as diabetes and respiratory diseases. The IT infrastructure plays a crucial role in supporting these research activities, and the migration to the colocation data center will help achieve the scientific goals of the center.
