They wanted a partner who not only had deep expertise in cloud backup and disaster recovery, but could also deliver the advanced cloud security expertise needed to meet the compliance requirements of their customers. A top priority for the CSN Groep is protecting their customers’ IT systems from the ever increasing threats of cyber-attacks, viruses, and ransomware.

Predictive Maintenance for Industrial Chillers
For global leaders in the industrial chiller manufacturing, reliability of the entire production process is of the utmost importance. Chillers are refrigeration systems that produce ice water to provide cooling for a process or industrial application. One of those leaders sought a way to respond to asset performance issues, even before they occur. The intelligence to guarantee maximum reliability of cooling devices is embedded (pre-alarming). A pre-alarming phase means that the cooling device still works, but symptoms may appear, telling manufacturers that a failure is likely to occur in the near future. Chillers who are not internet connected at that moment, provide little insight in this pre-alarming phase.
