idverde NL significantly scales up IT infrastructure through HaaS and procurement of new components

The case

idverde NL challenges everyone to work in their own way on greener solutions for a better world. With our various business units, we work with clients, locally and internationally, on climate adaptation, biodiversity, spatial quality and health. Over 500 employees work at idverde NL from twenty different locations. idverde NL urgently needed additional IT infrastructure, but wondered whether it was more practical to upgrade the entire environment immediately or to renew it with temporary equipment. It was important to keep costs as low as possible. Thanks to IRENT’s expertise on both aspects, an optimal solution was implemented.

The solution

idverde NL purchased various components and scaled up the IT infrastructure using a Hardware as a Service (HaaS) solution. This allows companies to purchase servers, storage & networking from us in a subscription form.

Thus, idverde NL now uses our HPE DL380 servers to meet all operational requirements, without having to make a large investment in this directly. Choosing the HaaS service offers idverde NL several advantages. For instance, they pay a fixed amount each month for hardware, software and service. In addition, they keep more money. They can also easily scale up and down their IT environment as needed.

Our approach

Quickly provided a customised solution that was readily available.
Together with the customer, we developed a solution that combined a partial upgrade of existing equipment via HaaS with the provision of additional components
By using both existing equipment and our HaaS equipment, the whole operation is also significantly more sustainable than the alternatives. We always include this sustainable consideration in our advice.

The result

Through our service, idverde NL has been able to ensure operational quality without major adjustments and investments. In the process, they have saved both time and costs, with virtually no downtime. The new situation also enables the company to accurately plan and take stock of what their next (IT) step will be.
