Initially, we were considering the construction of a new in-house data center. However, during the analysis phase, we concluded that the effort and investment required to guarantee the necessary levels of redundancy, security and maintenance would be very high. This led us to rethink our strategy and look for an option that would allow us to focus on our core business while ensuring maximum availability for key services. This is where Oxigen Data Center emerged as a robust and viable alternative.

Our main concern was losing direct control over systems that we had previously managed in-house, as well as latency, business-critical plant connectivity and real-time incident management. As an industrial company, we also need to maintain high resilience against potential network outages or failures in external services, so the solution had to be extremely robust. The technical guarantees and proximity helped us overcome these concerns.

In our case, geographical proximity gives us peace of mind: having the Data Center close to our facilities makes it easier to access on-site technical support whenever required. Their operating model enabled us to carry out a gradual migration, while the technical team's experience and ability to understand our specific requirements - not only traditional IT, but also industrial IT - were key factors.

From the outset, we have seen a significant reduction in operational complexity and in the maintenance, workload placed on our internal team. We have improved availability and security, while no longer having to manage electrical redundancy, cooling, or physical and logical security ourselves.
