Digital transformation leads to an increased use of informa-
tion technologies in all areas of the company. Companies
can only master this change successfully if they give their IT
the necessary agility in time in order to be able to develop
web- and cloud-based applications quickly enough. Mobile
apps clearly demonstrate the speed at which new functions
can be made available to users. High speed of innovation
will lead to a loyal and rapidly growing customer base.
Such a high speed of development and innovation sim-
ply isn’t possible with traditional IT infrastructures. That‘s
why your company needs new technologies that enable
faster and more cost-effective development of applications
and cloud services. With Docker & Container as a Service
(CaaS), DARZ provides a solution based on NetApp storage
systems that allows you to deploy new applications and
software functions within a very short period of time.
CaaS: The right box for every application
What is container technology all about?
With the necessary transformation of your company, there
is no getting around modern application development. The
speed with which you can develop, deploy and market your
applications decides on your competitiveness. “Containe-
rization” is the key to this: containers enable applications
to be packaged into transportable packages together with
all their accessories. This modular approach accelerates
application development quite considerably.
Why do we need agile application development? Containers offer the following advantages compared
to traditional server virtualization:
z Maximum degree of standardization and reproducibility
z No dedicated operating system
z Narrow footprint
z Quick and easy deployment and updating of production,
test and development environments
z Extremely flexible lifecycle management
z Nearly real-time scalability, both vertically and horizon-
tally
z Lower costs due to optimal resource utilization
This makes container technology a decisive step towards
greater cost efficiency and speed. By gaining in innovative
capacity and quality, you will achieve important competitive
advantages for your company and be well prepared for the
digital age.

The current container technology still leaves a number of
important operational questions unanswered, however:
z Orchestration of the containers
z Data exchange between containers
z Persistent storage
z Load balancing
z Monitoring
z High availability
To close these gaps, DARZ has developed technical
enhancements together with NetApp and evoila, which
have expanded the concept of the DataFabric and can now
be fully utilized – with all of the advantages and without
the application deficiencies mentioned above.
For the first time, a plug-in enables NetApp storage systems
to be integrated into the container service to provide
long-term, secure data storage. The simultaneous usability
of the data between the housing, the Private Cloud / IaaS,
the Public Cloud and CaaS is guaranteed.
As part of its consulting know-how, evoila, as a provider of
consulting services, supports the DARZ offering with its
own software solution for user-specific reporting and
billing. The orchestration, scaling and availability
monitoring of the container lifecycle is ensured by the open
source platform Cloud Foundry. Customers who want to
use CaaS for their applications will also benefit from
valuable, specific expertise on the topics Container, Docker
and Cloud Foundry through evoila‘s consulting services.
This will allow for fast and clean application development.
DARZ provides users of CaaS with the necessary
infrastructure and access to its entire modular structured
service offering that is made available at the high-security
data center in Darmstadt. Customers receive significant
added value because CaaS can be seamlessly integrated
with virtual machines in a Private Cloud, Public Cloud or
their own systems. It uses a network level as well as a
common data base. DARZ provides customers and partners
with leading IT infrastructures, services and know-how of
the highest quality and security to meet current and future
digital challenges and secure competitive advantages. The
company offers its customers services in the three main
categories: Colocation, Infrastructure as a Service and
Storage as a Service.
