Challenge.

The energy sector imposes high demands in terms of availability, resilience, and performance, as services cannot afford any downtime. In this critical context, our client needed to replace its IT infrastructure while ensuring uninterrupted operational continuity. To meet this challenge, ALTIS launched a structured two-phase public tender aimed at identifying a select group of trusted partners. Following this rigorous process, our expertise was selected to design and deploy a new infrastructure capable of meeting the sector’s high standards.

The solution.

After a thorough analysis of the specifications, we developed a two-phase response in close collaboration with our strategic partner, Dell Technologies. Initially, we based our proposal on an architecture using vSAN Ready Nodes. In the second phase, we refined our approach by recommending the Dell VxRail solution, which significantly simplifies the day-to-day management of the environment, particularly in terms of updates and maintenance. Our approach was structured: reviewing the tender, holding a kickoff meeting, defining the strategy, conducting technical discussions with Dell, and drafting a proposal that perfectly aligned with the expectations. Selected by a steering committee composed of the Commune of Val de Bagnes and Netplus Entremont, our solution was chosen as the most relevant according to the strict criteria of the public procurement process.

Thanks to its flawless agility and responsiveness, Bechtle stood out among all IT providers in French-speaking Switzerland by being able to meet our criteria and requirements with great precision. The partnership they’ve formed with their collaborator enables us to benefit from a hyperconverged IT infrastructure tailored to our needs and business.

Benefits.

«We had high expectations for this new IT infrastructure, and they were fully met. Thanks to its flexibility and scalability, we can support our digital transformation without being held back by hardware or software costs. It’s a real shift from our previous environment, where every change came with exponential costs.»

«This project confirmed the positive image we had of Bechtle: a solution perfectly aligned with our needs, knowledgeable contacts, and reliable support—even after going live. With the infrastructure in place and the managed service, we’ve gained agility and responsiveness, especially in terms of security. If we had to do it all over again, we’d choose the same team without hesitation.» Yves Sindoni.
