Availability, flexibility, efficiency and the highest level of safety. These objectives, Johannes Seniorendienste have made in modernizing its data center, together with the German Virtual Network Operator mitcaps GmbH.

The customer Johannes Seniorendienste e.V., a service provider for old and handicapped people in need of care, asked the German Virtual Network Operator (VNO) mitcaps GmbH to design, purchase and set-up its new data center. The objective of the upgrade is to create a consolidated and centralized infrastructure, using the virtualization approach. JSD follows with the project a long-term strategic approach - the technical consolidation. Together with mitcaps, JSD migrated the existing server based computer solution to the newly designed data center based on blade systems within 6 months. Additional thin clients support the energy- and storage-affective solution, as thin-clients using 12 times less power than a standard PC.

To operate more energy-efficiently JSD selected a closed cooling system. The design enables a constant separation of cold air zones and warm air zones. Cold air is blown only into the cold aisle which results in energy savings. An uninterruptible power supply ensures the highest level of safety and availability. A central access control and early fire detection further increase the physical safety.

“We know, we can trust mitcaps as our partner – the extension of our existing cooperation (the optimization of our corporate network in the last year) was the proof of the VNO-concept to JSD and convinced us to go the next step with our partner too.“, says Peter Grewe, Managing Director of JSD. „With the technical upgrade of our data center JSD has already responded to an innovative concept.“, adds Volker Büßgen, Head of IT of JSD. „It was important for us to create an independent, self-managed and flexible solution.“

„As a result of a very successful WAN project, JSD entrusted us with the technical provisioning of its data center.“ explains Wilfried Röttgers, General Manager and founder of mitcaps. „We are pleased to show our technical know-how in the current project. JSD decided on mitcaps one more time because of our flexibility and service. We are proud that our service offering with a customer centric approach and build on a fair corporation between both partners leads to a high customer satisfaction.”
