Desktop and application virtualization for businesses is the logical further development of server and storage virtualization. Virtual desktops allow for flexible, location-independent work just like in an office. The technology meets the dynamic requirements of your business, and you and your employees have numerous access options – from a home office, using your own device, or as a simple way of connecting to additional locations. Work done on personal desktop computers happens on the servers in the data center or your server room. That completely frees you up in terms of choosing an end device, and at the same time meets the highest security standards for your customers and legal clients.

VMware Workspace ONE helps us steadily pursue this development. Workspace ONE is a platform for digital workspaces that easily and securely provides and manages every application or desktop on every device. It includes access controls, application management, and cross-platform endpoint management. The solution is available as a cloud service and can also be provided locally.
Virtual desktop and application infrastructures use innovative, central IT management to reduce administrative costs – especially for 50 or more users – when providing IT services and applications. SBIT AG, as a long-time VMware enterprise partner, is one of the few specialists in Germany for these VMware solutions. We look forward to hearing from you and offering you comprehensive advice. After that, we can work together to develop the right solution for your company.

From cloud consulting and planning to implementation – with SBIT AG and our certified consultants, you can choose the best strategy for using cloud technologies in your company. Whether you use a private, hybrid, or public cloud system, we analyze your business processes as well as the existing IT infrastructure. Based on this analysis and your specific needs, we work with you to create the ideal development plan that also considers the leading market offerings, such as Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services, Office 365 and many more.

The analysis determines which IT architecture is best for implementing your defined company objectives – our findings help you decide how your company can use cloud computing to become more efficient.

If desired, we can show you the transformation process and help you implement your cloud strategy. Of course we also provide a comprehensive security concept to make sure you are always safe in the cloud.

Our services:
Analyze your business processes and the existing IT infrastructure.
Define the necessary IT requirements and identify gaps in your specifications.
Provide advice about future solution architectures.
Design a target cloud architecture.
Calculate business cases.
Develop implementation roadmaps.

Whether your server infrastructure runs on-premise, in other words on your own server environment, or will be fully or partially in the cloud depends on many different parameters. With SBIT, you have an experienced system integrator for traditional infrastructures in medium-sized companies to help you determine these variables. We work with you to develop the right concept for your business. Our company also focuses extensively on the advantages and disadvantages of cloud and hybrid cloud solutions – an issue that is also important for your setup.

For instance, a traditional client-server architecture can be combined with cloud technologies if necessary to create hybrid infrastructures, so you can be prepared for the future even if your requirements are simple. Creating this infrastructure within your company gives you the best possible data security, which guarantees that you have complete control over your data. A local backup lets you decide where your archived data will be stored.

This concept requires a separate server room that is equipped according to your requirements. Alternatively, we often locate our customers’ IT environments in our data center, which is subject to the highest security standards. We will be happy to advise you on everything from purchasing real estate and optimizing or upgrading your existing infrastructure to planning and implementing a move of your local IT.

IT representatives and companies face great challenges when it comes to integrating mobile end devices into the company. As end devices, mobile devices are especially vulnerable to threats. That means sensitive company information may not be protected if it is accessed from mobile devices.

A generation of talented new employees is adjusting their main priorities in life. Companies must be able to respond to their needs in the competition for talented workers. With our Mobile First approach, SBIT AG offers medium-sized companies a holistic concept for planning, protecting, administering and rolling out integrated mobility solutions in these companies. Only a modern enterprise mobility platform can meet both goals: keeping their users productive, and keeping administrative and security costs low.

We provide mobile end devices, install new desktop PCs and handle software deployment as well as automatically installing updates for maximum security and performance – our client management system guarantees highly professional, automatic maintenance and administration for your end devices.
With our mobile device management service, your employees can connect their own smartphones or tablets to your company’s infrastructure, which significantly reduces your administrative and support costs. If a device is lost, you can lock it or delete it entirely with just a few clicks to keep thieves from accessing your sensitive company data.

Virtualization has become an important part of every business. We rely on our longtime partner VMware, Inc., the most successful company on the market. If you decide to keep your server systems on your own premises, they are virtualized individually on a physical host. That means low purchasing costs for the hardware, while allowing for extremely flexible use of virtual server systems on a physical server. Because of the processing power that is now available on today’s servers, you can run multiple virtual machines on a single physical host. Until a few years ago, each server system still needed its own hardware. Now you can save power, maintenance and support costs, while using valuable resources sustainably as part of a green IT strategy. Alternatively, you can also virtualize complex networks and infrastructures – mapping the entire productive environment in a single server system. That saves the cost of investing in a traditional environment, where you would need separate hardware for each system.

Right from the start, we design features for the corresponding server to make sure you stay flexible for possible expansions during the server’s life cycle. What if you decide to add a document management system later on and need an additional server? No problem – we can create another virtual server system with just a few clicks, so you don’t need to invest in any additional hardware.

We also offer desktop virtualization, which sets up the conventional client systems as virtual machines as well. You connect to the virtual desktop using your preferred client. All kinds of clients can be used – traditional desktop PCs, zero clients, tablets and smartphones. That allows for flexible and consistent, location-independent work. The VPN era is coming to an end – nowadays, you can connect to your virtual desktop and work from anywhere just as if you were in your office.

Together with our backup for virtual server systems, this package gives you a flexible system that can be expanded cost-effectively, adapting to your specific needs and growing with you as needed. We are taking server systems a step further – with virtualization solutions from SBIT.

Do you need your IT infrastructure to be stable, efficient and constantly available, while also meeting new challenges in a flexible, scalable way? We have tailor-made solutions for you – our SBIT infrastructure architects offer exactly the right concepts, from virtualization and automation to upgrading your server room or data processing center.

When it comes to server and storage systems, we have been working with our partners DellEMC and NetApp for nearly 20 years. By taking advantage of synergy effects and with ongoing reciprocal requirement analyses, we are able to offer you hardware that meets the highest quality standards, along with comprehensive support services. From simple administration using the Dell management tools to a guarantee of the highest standards, DellEMC’s hardware fits perfectly with a modern, failsafe IT infrastructure.

DellEMC offers extensive warranty options for its hardware systems. From “next-business-day” client support to “4-hour Dell mission critical support,” we guarantee that, no matter when a hardware component fails, a Dell or SBIT technician will arrive with a replacement part within 4 hours and replace the faulty component. Together with our 24/7 support, that means you can count on a smoothly running IT infrastructure day and night, 365 days a year. We guarantee that you can work with a reliable partner who is always available to help you – either locally at your facility, or at a data center outside your business premises.

Introducing new law-firm software means a significant and sensitive intervention in your firm’s process landscape. It often completely changes all of the main work areas, from time recording and client administration using the DMS to invoicing. Together with our partner for IT process security and data protection, InfiniSafe GmbH, our consultants analyze your current business processes and IT infrastructure. These analyses provide the basis for creating your functional specifications. They also organize the targeted product selection, develop proposals for a transformation process, and help introduce the new law-firm solution if desired. We are also completely product and platform-neutral – every law firm has its own main focuses, and the products should be designed accordingly.

Nonetheless, SBIT AG has had a great deal of experience with the process and IT landscapes of German law firms for nearly 20 years. Using this knowledge, our partner Scaled Efficiency GmbH worked with a large law firm with activities throughout Germany to develop a law-firm solution that is perfectly tailored to the needs of the modern law firm. The commercial area is also integrated for business management.

Time recording, invoicing and controlling not only cost your law firm a lot of time, but are also highly susceptible to error. The solution? Track2Bill (T2B). This software was developed specifically for law firms in collaboration with attorneys, and can be programmed for individual requirements.

T2B is used for time recording and also serves as an accounting assistant. The software provides support for employee and client administration, and includes various controlling tools. The tools are combined into a single application, so many processes are linked and run automatically. A huge plus: after just 15 minutes of training, your employees will be proficient in using the software.

Communication is changing at a rapid pace. New paths, new technologies and new devices create unfamiliar challenges for companies and their employees. We offer a standardized, user-friendly and efficient solution that combines all of the communication channels into one place. Together with our partner Swyx Solutions AG, an excellent telecommunications and unified communications provider, we create an integrated, software-based IP communication solution that is specially tailored for the needs of medium-sized enterprises. The software intelligently and intuitively combines all of the different corporate communication formats, creating a platform with a standardized user interface.

Nowadays there are many different ways to contact people: landline, mobile and video telephony, fax, instant messaging and email – each medium offers countless additional usage options. Not only do they require you to provide the relevant hardware environment, but these channels also demand attention and a high level of organization from your employees.

Our certified Swyx administrators can easily analyze and connect your business processes, while at the same time improving your internal workflows. They also create completely new ways to collaborate with business partners and customers while protecting your existing process application investments.

Staying one step ahead of the competition is a question of making the right decisions, and quickly. Especially now – in a time when digitization is advancing rapidly and affecting every aspect of business – agility, foresighted action, and experienced partners are essential for your long-term success. The IP-based solutions from Swyx allow you to set smart priorities (for instance with a Swyx IT program interface using your corporate design and your specified structure) and give you a key competitive edge.

Do you want to learn more about integrating unified communication into your business? We look forward to talking with you and finding options for replacing your traditional telephone system with a future-proof all-IP solution.

With our backup solutions, you can always count on the security of your data. We rely on our partner Veeam Software GmbH, an enterprise provider of backup solutions that specializes in securing data from virtual server systems. Naturally, this process can also be used to back up and restore conventional, non-virtual servers.

Typically, the backup is configured so that entire server systems can be restored within minutes with just a few clicks. Individual elements can also be reconstructed from the backups (e.g. individual emails from inboxes or individual files) within just a few minutes.

Did you accidentally delete an email? Not a problem – we can retrieve it very easily from the most recent backup. A little while later, the email will show up in your inbox again. Restoring files from your file server is just as quick.

You can breathe easily again – it’s that simple.

When it comes to backup strategies, one method is the traditional “backup to tape,” where you can deposit tapes in a safety deposit box, say, at specified intervals – weekly, biweekly or monthly, for example. If necessary, an older backup can then be uploaded again. One benefit: it helps you meet potential archiving obligations.
A more modern version is “backup to disk,” which uses hard drives as the archiving medium. The benefit here is faster backup and recovery. The systems let you replace and archive data carriers just as flexibly as with backup to tape.

The most modern option is “backup to cloud,” where your data is copied into our highly available SBIT data center via an encrypted line and protected from all external influences. If necessary, your data can be restored to your server systems using the same encrypted line. If you need to meet archiving obligations, backup to cloud can be supplemented by a local backup, allowing you to combine the best of both worlds and safeguard your company. Even in extreme cases, all of the data will very quickly be available again.

Play it safe every time with the SBIT backup!

IT security products have become just as complicated as the networks they are meant to protect. We at SBIT know that a solution for complex IT security doesn’t need to generate even more complexity. That is why we address security challenges with clearly designed, easy-to-use tools. Thanks to our partner Sophos Technology GmbH, the process is secure, simple and intuitive. We track malware’s every move for you, using perfectly coordinated products. We offer integrated solutions for everything from the network to the endpoint and the server: synchronized security management. We call it “Next-Gen Security,” using future-oriented technologies.

Our network products give you firewall, Wi-Fi, VPN, web and email protection. You can control all of the security features from a central management console; alternatively, with managed IT, SBIT handles this for you. In addition, our unified threat management service is easy to provide and administer. Whether you are using PCs, smartphones, tablets or laptops, regardless of location, your employees and data are always reliably protected.

Whether they choose colocation, server housing or a dedicated server, many of our customers use our data center experience to position their infrastructure centrally within Germany. With our partner MK Netzdienste GmbH & Co. KG, we offer a professional data center environment for proprietary infrastructures in Frankfurt – with secure solutions that are tailored to your needs.

Connection and infrastructure data centers now make up the bulk of our products and services. Our standards for a high-performance network structure are correspondingly high, with enough bandwidth and a high level of availability to ensure a smooth exchange of data.

Within Frankfurt, the two MK data centers are connected to the InterXion and Equinix data centers via an n x 10-GBit/s-ring. Das ermöglicht eine ausfallsichere Verbindung zu den dort befindlichen Netzzusammenschaltungen (z.B. DE-CIX). Diese redundante Ringstruktur garantiert höchste Betriebssicherheit und schützt vor Ausfällen. Die Verbindungen zum Internet erfolgen über direkte Peerings mit der Telekom, Anschlüsse an Peeringpoints (beispielsweise DE-CIX) sowie Transitstrecken zu anderen Carriern.

IP-Traffic
Thanks to our outstanding connection and infrastructure, numerous public and private peering relationships, for instance with Deutsche Telekom, and a total of three transit partners, MK Netzdienste offers excellent-quality IP traffic.

Germany as a data center hub
Your data is hosted in Germany and is subject to German laws and data protection regulations. These regulations are among the strictest in the world, since German politics and business are more sensitive to data privacy issues than those in other nations. You can be confident that our data protection is subject to clear rules and standards.

Let’s talk about how modern technologies like VMware Workspace ONE, used in a private cloud hosted by our German data center, can “merge” your locations in terms of IT – and what synergies that can create for your business.

We have been involved in procuring and trading IT components and licenses for almost 20 years now. However, our Purchasing and Distribution Department intentionally focuses mainly on the needs of our permanent customers. As part of Europe’s largest purchasing network, we can access all of the distribution chains. That means we always get the best possible prices and the best delivery times for our customers.

At the same time, we concentrate on the world’s leading manufacturers when it comes to procuring IT components. We are confident that we have the best partner in the world – DellEMC – for the server, storage and network area. All of our security and wi-fi products come from Sophos Technology GmbH. In choosing clients and other components, we focus on manufacturers with impressive products whose enterprise support standards are as high as our own.

Together with our service-contract customers, in addition to ongoing stocktaking and license administration, we also develop standards for client workstation procurement as well as employee equipment, and we implement those standards for the customers. That significantly reduces their administrative and startup costs, and it creates planning security and transparency.
