Team Network

Our Responsibility
We take care of the operation and set-up of the entire network infrastructure in Europe and in our data center in Osnabrück. We support 14 countries in Europe in setting up, expanding, moving, but also in dismantling, but our primary focus is on Germany with 65 locations. In the data center, we support our server team in installing hardware (servers, appliances) and the individual specialist teams in launching all kinds of services. Currently, the focus of our work is on modernizing the switch infrastructure in the data centers in Osnabrück and in Europe and implementation of a new concept to further increase security within our data center.

Our Team
The network team currently consists of three colleagues working from Osnabrück one working from Poland. Since everyone in the team has one or more focus topics, good documentation and knowledge transfer within the team is essential, which makes regular exchange is important to us. The main contact persons for us are the local administrators with their teams in the region and the individual specialist teams, particularly the infrastructure teams for the data center.

Our Technologies, Tools & Methods
We operate a network of 110 locations in Europe. For security and connectivity, we use local firewalls that provide on-site security at the locations and at the same time ensure the connection of each location to the central data center and the internet. In each location, we use switches and access points to provide access to the network for the employees on site and for all end devices used. Our network in the data center consists largely of switches and firewalls. The switches allow servers and appliances to access the network, the firewalls secure the services within the data center and connect our data center with the locations in Europe and other regions of the world.
