About the customer

KitzSki (Bergbahn AG Kitzbühel) is a leading cable car company in the Alps and operator of one of Austria's most renowned ski resorts. A reliable IT infrastructure is crucial for the smooth operation of cable cars, the control of snowmaking systems, online ticket sales, processing weather and piste data, personnel management, and many other operational processes that enable guests to enjoy year-round mountain experiences.

Challenges

The customer needed an renewal of their existing VMware infrastructure. As a longstanding partner that has been providing KitzSki's server infrastructure for over two decades, Fsas Technologies was once again commissioned to meet the growing demands for a more flexible and futureproof infrastructure. Essential was the uninterrupted operation across multiple distributed locations, especially during the critical winter season.

Solutions

A highly available multinode Proxmox Ceph cluster was implemented on PRIMERGY RX1440 M2 servers. The servers were strategically distributed across multiple locations, supplemented by a dedicated tiebreaker node. A Ceph configuration and dedicated fiber optic connections for communication ensure maximum data availability and performance.

Outcomes

The new solution ensures maximum availability in continuous operation, optimizes operating costs, and increases flexibility through an open-source platform. It also guarantees optimal performance, easy scalability for future growth, and reliable local support.
