GIGATON / Data centers (DC)
The increasing digitization of logistic processes requires latest high-performance data centers. With a convergent architectural approach, GIGATON administrates and monitors all components of its IT infrastructure, such as servers, virtual machines, networking and storage units, located in two different sites. The entire system is centrally monitored by using suitable software tools to check constantly performance, availability, configuration and security. That allows on site to inspect accurately and control quickly all main components and critical values, ranging from power supply and cooling system to safety devices, and up to specific process variables of the IT systems.

DC + Cloud / Secure data
GIGATON data center services are certified within the DIN EN ISO 9001/2015 quality management system, thereby meeting the globally recognized standards in terms of process optimization and customer-oriented services. In the age of Industry 4.0, data security (confidentiality - integrity - availability) is a key factor for customer satisfaction.
In strictly practical terms, the GIGATON’s IT security model includes alarm-secured access controls in all sensitive areas as well as extensive technical, software-supported and organizational security measures.
GIGATON’s data security model, related to the LogoS workflow with cloud or data center services, provides a regular backup of all virtual servers copying via snapshots the entire data volume to a backup server – if needed several times a day. The archive logs, permanently created by the Oracle database running on the LogoS database server, get also automatically backed up.
In addition, a daily backup to a tape library, situated in a separate fire compartment of the data center, is scheduled. A second snapshot-backup via WAN on a spatially separated backup server can also be provided.
