kika and Leiner Migrate Data and Applications in Record Speed 

One of the largest furniture stores in Austria, kika and Leiner, faced the decommissioning of its existing data center, complete data migration, and relocation — all in just one weekend during ongoing operations. VMware HCX, provided via partner Axians ICT Austria, made this possible by serving as the platform for application and data migration. Within 36 hours, Axians ICT Austria and VMware solutions ensured smooth data migration, continuous data security, and full maintenance of processes for providing furniture to customers. In this way, kika and Leiner saved valuable resources, time and costs while establishing a future-proof IT infrastructure the company can react better and with more flexibility to market challenge in the future.
