»This new HCI solution has enabled us to embark on an important future route for our infrastructure, which we at DILAX live by for our own portfolio anyway. We are glad that we could count on the valuable support of Softline in this step.«

With the vision »Local Data for better Cities«, DILAX has been dealing with local data since 1988 and supports public and private partners in extracting relevant information from their data. For this purpose, the medium-sized company headquartered in Berlin develops and implements excellent hardware and software solutions. Their dynamic processes and high quality requirements need a solid, scalable and flexible IT infrastructure - DILAX turned to Softline with this in mind.
