Context
The Ministry of Agriculture relies on critical IT infrastructures that require a high level of security, availability, and reliability. In this context, the main challenges were the standardization of hosting rules, ensuring the reliability of the DCIM repository, and the ability to carry out complex technical operations without disrupting services.
Based in Castanet-Tolosan, the project also required a high level of operational responsiveness through a permanent on-site presence.
The Lùkla Approach
Lùkla implemented an approach focused on operational proximity, infrastructure governance, and Datacenter expertise.
Datacenter governance: implementation and enforcement of hosting, infrastructure organization, and cabling standards.
DCIM repository: administration and continuous updating of infrastructure data through Open DCIM..
Operational maintenance: monitoring of critical equipment and on-site interventions to ensure business continuity.
BUILD operations: management of relocations, rack integration, and technical infrastructure upgrades.
Our Delivery Approach
Lùkla structured its approach around four key stages to ensure infrastructure reliability and continuous evolution :
Datacenter Governance Implementation
Definition of hosting rules and application of infrastructure organization standards to optimize Datacenter facilities.
DCIM Repository Administration
Continuous updating of Open DCIM to ensure accurate inventories and reliable infrastructure data.
Operational Maintenance
Monitoring of critical equipment and rapid on-site interventions to maintain uninterrupted service.
BUILD Operations Management
Coordination of equipment relocations, rack installations, and technical infrastructure upgrades while respecting scheduled maintenance windows.
What Made the Difference on the Project
Permanent on-site presence: a 100% on-site operating model ensured immediate responsiveness and rapid handling of critical requests.
Proven Datacenter expertise: the autonomy and technical expertise of Lùkla’s Datacenter specialist ensured secure and efficient management of the Ministry’s sensitive infrastructures.
Rigorous infrastructure governance: standardized infrastructure organization rules and continuous DCIM management significantly improved overall infrastructure reliability.
Ability to deliver sensitive operations without service disruption: BUILD projects and technical reorganizations were completed within maintenance windows without impacting production.
Long-term partnership: since 2023, Lùkla has been supporting the Ministry in the continuous evolution of its infrastructures through a combination of proximity, expertise, and operational excellence.
