Datanet Systems Cluj modernizes the Tenaris Silcotub Data Centers in Zalău

Datanet Systems Cluj has modernized and re-technologically upgraded the two Data Centers operated by Tenaris Silcotub at the headquarters in Zalău.

The project involved extensive operations to improve the civil constructions and the IT infrastructure, to bring them to the best performing standards in the field. Datanet Systems Cluj used state-of-the-art technologies and ensured the operational continuity of Tenaris Silcotub’s production systems throughout the project.

The collaboration included the modernization of data rooms and power supply systems, the installation of professional air conditioning equipment, high-performance UPSs and a generator. At the same time, the access control and video surveillance systems were restored. The objective of the investment was to achieve superior objectives of operational continuity, security and fire protection

As stated by Daniel Mirică, Implementation & Support Senior Manager, Tenaris Silcotub: “By implementing this project in collaboration with Datanet Systems, Tenaris Silcotub has modernized the two Data Centers in the Zalău location, which now meet international standards in the field and ensure high availability and protection for the IT infrastructure and company data.” The project had a high level of complexity, both through the integration of various technologies, and through the importance it has for the beneficiary. To carry out this work, Silcotub organized a public tender, won by Datanet Systems Cluj.

“The retrofitting of a Data Center requires advanced technical and project management skills. In the Tenaris Silcotub project, we had two major objectives: ensuring operational continuity throughout the modernization works, but also bringing the Data Centers from Zalău to the most current standards in the field. We designed and implemented a high-performance technical solution that will ensure Tenaris Silcotub a higher level of availability and security in the long term,” sates Mircea Pop, Executive Director, Datanet Systems Cluj.
