Lufthansa City Center (LCC) provides its roughly 300 travel agency customers with IT resources in the form of virtual desktops. These virtual desktops are fully managed by Lufthansa City Center. This requires a flexible, scalable, and secure infrastructure with interconnection. Equinix ticks all these boxes and was the ideal choice as infrastructure provider due to its extremely failsafe system and extensive service guarantees. In the Equinix environment, LCC uses a hybrid solution comprising a public cloud and dedicated servers with IONOS Cloud acting as the Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) provider, as well as dedicated hosts provided as a colocation service by Axians.
“The separate arrangement of the virtual desktop infrastructure at Axians and the application infrastructure at IONOS Cloud enables us to combine licensing security for the Windows desktops with maximum resource scalability for the travel agency employees.” Cornelius MarksTeam Leader IT Operations at Axians
