Proact Implements Private Cloud Solution for Swegon

Proact IT
Group AB has implemented a cloud based storage solution for Swegon AB‘s
primary data storage.

The private cloud solution gives Swegon a safe and scalable storage
infrastructure addressing both current and future storage needs. Proact is also
delivering ongoing support.

Swegon manufactures and markets products
and solutions for ventilation and indoor climate control. The operations
include 16 sales offices in Sweden, production and development facilities in
Kvänum, Arvika and Tomelilla and a large number of international sales offices.
Expansion plans and increasing amounts of data made Swegon identify the need
for a smarter and more effective storage solutions.

"We
needed a more flexible and effective storage solution in order to take the IT
environment to the level we are striving for. The private cloud solution which
Proact has implemented gives us just this. We have the possibility to scale
both up and down depending on the need of the operations. We will also be able
to grow with this model in the future," says Per Joelsson, CIO, Swegon.

To address Swegon’s needs of scalable and
effective storage, Proact presented a hybrid cloud model which enable Proact to
supply storage as a service within a private cloud. The hardware is, as
required by Swegon, placed in its facilities and is directly connected to
a private cloud operated by Proact.

"The
private cloud solution we have presented mean that Swegon will only pay for the
storage capacity they actually utilize. The solution also means that Swegon has
access to critical information from wherever, whenever and from all devices.
The hybrid model will offer exactly the storage capacity the operation demand
on a day to day basis," says Martin Ödman, CEO, Proact.
