- Migration of over 150 servers and business-critical applications to Arvato Systems' Virtual Private Cloud
- Secure, stable, and future-proof IT operations for Trianel – including the establishment of a Security Operations Center
The IT project included the setup and commissioning of more than 150 servers, extensive database and Citrix environments, file services, backup and storage solutions, and the migration of business-critical applications, among other things. In addition, housing solutions, VPN and Azure connections, and a Security Operations Center (SOC) including a process landscape were implemented.
Arvato Systems worked with the customer in Aachen to divide the project into five sub-projects. The establishment of a geo-redundant infrastructure across several data centers now ensures maximum reliability.
“The migration project was a milestone in many respects – technically demanding, organizationally complex, and strategically extremely important,” explains Oliver Baukmann, project manager at Arvato Systems. “The close, trusting cooperation with Trianel was the key to success.”
Trianel also gives a thoroughly positive assessment: “The migration went smoothly and on schedule – an excellent example of IT transformation based on partnership and equality,” says Frank Cönen, IT manager at Trianel GmbH. “In Arvato Systems, we have a reliable partner that combines cloud, security, and managed service expertise in a complex energy environment.”
Following the official completion of the project and a subsequent stabilization phase, the IT project has now transitioned fully into regular operation. The new setup forms the basis for a multi-year operating phase. The project not only strengthens the operational reliability of Trianel's IT infrastructure, but also Arvato Systems' strategic position as a leading IT service provider to the energy and utilities industry.
At E-world energy & water, which will take place in Essen from February 10 to 12, 2026, experts from Arvato Systems will provide insights into the migration project. Interested trade visitors will have the opportunity to learn about the technical and organizational aspects of the transformation in a personal conversation at booth 3C115.
