With the vision “Local Data for better Cities”, DILAX has been supporting public and private partners in obtaining relevant information from their data since 1988.
To this end, the medium-sized company from Berlin develops and implements excellent hardware and software solutions. Their dynamic processes and high quality requirements need a resilient, scalable and flexible IT infrastructure - this is why DILAX turned to Softline.
Softline supported DILAX in replacing a difficult-to-manage, inflexible system infrastructure and setting up a future-proof hyperconverged solution.
"With this new HCI solution, we were able to set our infrastructure on an important course for the future, which we at DILAX are already pursuing for our own portfolio. We are glad that we were able to count on the valuable support of Softline in this step."
