Without a platform, you can't fly high in business.
The initial situation
Does running your own IT platform require a lot of expertise and staff?
There are still convincing reasons for having your own IT platform. But is it really necessary to operate it yourself? Data storage, computing power, virtualisation, data backup and recovery require a broad spectrum of expertise that can only be covered by many specialists. Do you have all these experts at your disposal and can you ensure trouble-free operation? Or would you prefer to devote your time to your core business?
The challenges
Are you ideally positioned to successfully manage your IT platform holistically – from technology and data centres right through to security?
1_Interplay of state-of-the-art technologies
A high-performance IT platform requires comprehensive expertise from various areas. The platform can only realise its full potential and drive your business forward if all components work together perfectly. Do you have the necessary expertise and the right experts?
2_Data centre as the central element of your platform
Data is the new gold. Your platform must fulfil certain requirements so that you can fully exploit this potential. Do you have the necessary know-how to transform your data centre into a powerful tool that will boost your business?
3_All secure or what?
In the age of ransomware, phishing and malware, security plays a crucial role for your platform. How robust is your protection against these threats? And how well are you set up in the essential areas of backup and archiving?
The topic of platform security alone is so complex that even the search for suitable specialists is a challenge.

Platform Builder Services
Turn your data centre into a powerful tool that helps you to realise long-term strategic projects.
Converged and hyperconverged infrastructures offer flexibility and efficiency. We support you in selecting, designing and implementing the right solution in your environment. A data centre processes, transmits and manages information. It sounds simple, but it can only realise its full potential with state-of-the-art, optimally coordinated technology.
Flexible, modern architecture combined with a scalable foundation enables the agile and successful operation of your IT projects in the long term. UMB Architect outlines, directs, and orchestrates all individual measures.
Data backup is and remains an ongoing issue. The rapid recovery of data in the event of a loss or attack can be vital for the survival of your company.
Using file and e-mail archiving, data with retention obligations can be archived easily and efficiently with a modern solution.
From Docker to OpenShift: we build and operate container technologies. On your premises or on our own platform.
