Reasons for the Cloud Transformation

  • Energy-Efficient Modernization of Hardware Infrastructure

    Existing hardware is being replaced with new, more energy-efficient components in line with the organization's sustainability goals.

  • Infrastructure as a Driver of Digital Innovations

    The existing infrastructure is being evolved to enable access to cloud-based services and lay the foundation for new digital applications.

  • Simplification and Efficiency of IT Infrastructure

    Reducing the number of physical components simplifies the system landscape and enables more stable, efficient operation.

Results

How Essendi Benefits from the Cloud Transformation

Reduced Energy Consumption
By deploying new, energy-efficient components and migrating physical systems to the cloud, the energy consumption of the IT infrastructure is significantly reduced.
Digital Services at a New Level
Modernizing the infrastructure and moving to the cloud opens up a new generation of digital services, from cloud-based applications to digital room keys.
Simplified Operation and Increased Efficiency
Reducing hardware and components results in a significantly leaner system landscape, lowering maintenance effort and decreasing the need for service calls.

How m3connect Implemented the Cloud Transformation at Essendi

As part of the “Shaheen” project, Essendi (formerly AccorInvest) and m3connect have built a future-proof, standardized network infrastructure that paves the way for cloud-based services and delivers a significantly more powerful and reliable system.

Through the global harmonization of systems, operations were noticeably optimized and the migration of physical servers to the cloud was advanced, resulting in significant energy savings.

Solutions and Technologies Used

Cloud Migration of the IT Infrastructure
Physical servers were migrated to the cloud, creating a more flexible and efficient system landscape.
Energy-Efficient Hardware Components
Existing hardware was replaced with new, more energy-efficient components.
Standardized System Landscape
Systems were harmonized across all locations, establishing a consistent and scalable infrastructure.
Integration of Cloud-Based Services
The new infrastructure opens up access to a new generation of digital services and applications.
High-Performance Network as a Digital Backbone
A stable and reliable network infrastructure forms the foundation for the continuous operation of all digital services.
Reduction of Physical Components
Fewer hardware components reduces maintenance effort and susceptibility to errors, enabling more efficient and stable operation.
