Implementation of an HCI solution including network components at DILAX
Softline supported DILAX in replacing a difficult-to-manage, inflexible system infrastructure and setting up a future-proof hyper-converged solution. "This new HCI solution has allowed us to chart an important future course for our infrastructure, which we at DILAX live by anyway for our own portfolio. We are glad that we could count on the valuable support of Softline in this step." Robert Selle, Managing Director/ CFO, DILAX Intelcom GmbH.
