挑战

Röchling Automotive faced a critical challenge in maintaining uninterrupted IT processes for production control. The company needed to ensure continuous data flow across all production areas, from receiving orders via EDI to sending confirmation messages to the SAP system. The production of door panels for VW vehicles required precise timing and sequencing, with no room for delays or errors. Any interruption in IT availability could lead to significant operational disruptions, contractual penalties, and damage to the company's reputation. The existing backup system was inadequate, as it took too long to become functional, leading to data loss and time-consuming manual reconciliation. The company needed a robust solution to eliminate downtime and ensure high availability of its IT systems.

解决方案

In response to its IT challenges, Röchling Automotive implemented Stratus Avance, a high-availability solution designed for virtualization. The solution was deployed on two high-performance Hewlett-Packard server workstations, ensuring continuous synchronization and protection against downtime. The Avance software dynamically synchronizes the servers, allowing seamless failover in case of hardware faults or system failures. This setup ensures that both servers are always up-to-date, minimizing the time required for database reconciliation. The implementation was supported by MTS, which provided comprehensive project support, including migration of legacy systems and failover testing. The solution's simplicity and remote management capabilities have significantly improved system administration, allowing for efficient maintenance and fault management. Röchling Automotive now benefits from a robust IT infrastructure that guarantees high availability and operational continuity.
