Ramping up reliability while cutting costs

Franz Barta GmbH, based in Vienna, Austria, is a leader in the field of transfer print technology. Its products are used across many industries, for example to display safety information on seatbelts in cars and to transfer logos onto sports clothes and equipment. Eager to reduce costs and increase overall IT efficiency, the company approached trusted partner iT-Knowledge GmbH who recommended a hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) based on the ON DEMAND Lenovo and Scale Computing HC3 solution.

IT-Knowledge GmbH and Lenovo worked together to ensure a seamless migration with minimum disruption to Franz Barta’s business processes. With the HCI solution— three Lenovo ThinkSystem SR630 servers, powered by 2nd Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors—Franz Barta cut IT costs by 33%, and greatly simplified system administration and management. The company also benefits from improved performance, availability, and 50% faster backups thanks to a new Lenovo ThinkSystem ST250 backup server.
