IT-Racks from SCHÄFER IT-SystemsDatacenter Leipzig 2

SCHÄFER IT-Systems gains a strategic new customer in envia TEL

Neunkirchen, 1st December 2020. SCHÄFER IT-Systems, the German specialist for data centre infrastructure and network technology has succeeded in convincing envia TEL and the associated Datacenter Union of its capabilities as a supplier. In the middle of this year, SCHÄFER IT-Systems signed a 2-year framework agreement with envia TEL for supplying cabinet systems. SCHÄFER IT-Systems has already completed the first major delivery of over 70 application-specific IT racks in a range of different designs for Datacenter Leipzig 2, which envia TEL opened on 26th November.

SCHÄFER IT-Systems had to presented the IT racks to its new customer envia TEL in a sampling procedure and then optimise them using Computer Aided Design to suit their specific applications. During project planning, SCHÄFER IT-Systems also took on the task of designing sections of the rack systems’ interior, in particular the definition and planning of their horizontal and vertical cable routing. 

On large-scale construction sites, project alterations during the construction phase are inevitable. That’s why all parties involved in the building phase of Datacenter Leipzig 2 had to be able to react quickly and flexibly to short-notice alterations. Whenever called upon, SCHÄFER IT-Systems spontaneously designed special zone distributors and produced them in-house within a very tight time schedule to make sure that project could be kept on the planned schedule. This flexible, special cabinet solution is now a permanent fixture on the front face of the server cabinets.  

“At the beginning of our relationship, envia TEL was able to see the flexibility and efficiency of SCHÄFER IT-Systems for themselves, both at our works in Betzdorf, as well as at a few selected customers of ours. The result was that we were able to come through the tendering process successfully against a number of competitors. We are pleased and also a little bit proud of the fact that we were able to convince this strategically important new customer to choose SCHÄFER IT-Systems in what is a highly competitive market environment”, says Thomas Wermke, who, as Business Unit Director at SCHÄFER Ausstattungssysteme GmbH, is also responsible for sales at SCHÄFER IT-Systems.

Further deliveries from SCHÄFER IT-Systems to envia TEL will certainly follow. The volume of these deliveries, however, will depend on the degree to which Data Centre Leipzig 2 and all the other data centres operated by Datacenter Union at the different locations in Leipzig, Saarbrucken and Augsburg are to be extended.
