Solution: Accelerated delivery of applications
Specialising in datacentre solutions, storage and cloud services, Anzena prides itself on having long term relationships with its customers. Anticimex had been a customer for four years and had recently completed a service desk project with Anzena, reducing start-up times from 15 minutes to 40 seconds.
Anzena asked if it could examine the connectivity challenge, and created a Proof of Concept for one office using Riverbed Steelheads. With the PoC deemed a success, Anzena and Astaneh started work on building a business case for every branch.
“The PoC went well, but it involved an office close to Stockholm. We wanted to see how fast we could go with a semi-good connection at a more remote branch,” says Bergqvist. “Also, the Riverbed solution would be a sizeable investment, and we wanted the board to be clear how this would benefit the business,” continues Astaneh.
The Riverbed solution consists of Riverbed SteelHeads in five of Anticimex’s larger offices, acting as regional centres and Riverbed SteelCentral Controller for SteelHead is used to proactively manage its applications.
“The Riverbed SteelHeads are very intuitive to use,” says Oscar Winkelmann, IT Operations Manager, Anticimex. “We created a five-page installation guide, sent it to the branch office and someone with a simple grasp of IT could plug it in. We didn’t have to physically visit and manually install. Once they were in place, Riverbed helped configure SteelCentral. It was all very easy.”
