Grafia Sweden Chooses Proact

Proact IT Sweden AB has
implemented a new virtualised infrastructure and a new storage environment for
Grafia.

The contract also includes backup to Proact’s secure cloud and consecutive
support. The implementation project commenced and was completed in the summer
of 2012.

Grafia is one of Sweden’s most sought-after companies in the field
of model and product photography, supplying photos to companies such as
clothing giants Kappahl, Brothers, Lindex and MQ. To enhance the performance
and flexibility of the business, Proact has implemented a new, virtualised
infrastructure and a new storage environment.

"Of course, our success
is based on the fact that we supply high-quality images, but the fact that we
supply technical solutions that allow our end-clients to receive and manage our
images with ease is also a factor. These technical solutions, which make us
highly competitive, are entirely dependent on a flexible, high-performance IT
infrastructure and storage environment," says Martin Gårdmark, CIO of
Grafia.

To meet Grafia’s demands for outstanding flexibility and
performance, Proact presented a solution comprising a virtualised
infrastructure and a storage and backup environment. The Proact solution also
includes the backup of vital applications to Proact’s own cloud, thereby giving
Grafia greater access and reliability if anything were to affect the local
infrastructure.

"Grafia has a clear vision regarding what its
IT environment has to supply to the business and what it should facilitate. The
solution which we have devised and implemented gives Grafia outstanding
performance, reliability and, above all, the flexibility the company needs for
its business," says Martin Ödman, regional manager at Proact.
