This new commission builds on the existing cooperation between Proact and Bol.com. Since 2013 Proact has been involved in developing the architecture for the data centre and has now been chosen by Bol.com to assist in realizing it.
Bol.com went live with its own data centre infrastructure last year as a result of its desire to respond flexibly and scalably to strong growth. In order to supplement its own knowledge with the required specialist knowledge about storage, Bol.com went looking for a partner that could help with this challenge.
The organization now has a reliable, flexible and scalable data centre infrastructure for its online shop, which now supplies around 5 million customers with a wide range of articles.
“We’ve been working with Proact for some years now and chose them partly because our cultures match. Bol.com is an extremely dynamic organization. If we have a good idea today, it needs to be implemented as soon as possible. The scalability of the landscape is essential to our shop platform. ‘One size fits all’ doesn’t work here. With Proact we have brought in a partner that is proactive and consults strategically with us, a partner that is there for us day and night and that guarantees us the fastest possible ‘go-to-market’, which is crucial to us,” says Niels van de Wall, Director IT Operations at Bol.com.
The complete solution is based on the flagship storage system of NetApp and CommVault back-up and data management. Proact provides the solution including local 24x7 Proact premium support for the solution.
Lucas den Os, Managing Director of Proact in the Netherlands, says, “Bol.com has a clear vision about how IT has to support the business in every aspect of its organization. The solution we offered gives Bol.com outstanding performance, reliability and above all the flexibility that this dynamic and still rapidly growing organization demands. Following Bol.com’s relocation to WTC Papendorp in Utrecht we are practically neighbours, so we can offer unrivalled SLA to the largest online retailer in the Netherlands and Belgium.”
