Technology Lab

is established within a small datacenter at one of Atos’ locations, designed to operate entirely independently from other datacenters, thus preventing any interference with existing production environments. This autonomy enables easy testing of production-impacting procedures, including new installations, power cycles, and other procedures affecting production. It provides employees with valuable hands-on experience and serves as a platform for testing and demonstrating the latest application versions.
Additionally, the SIC(BTIC)‘s hardware is housed within this facility.

For access, installations, updates, and connections to the public cloud, there is a direct, firewalled, internet connection. The Tech.Lab environment is equipped with the most up-to-date hardware, representing current versions from prominent providers such as Cisco, Dell+EMC, NetApp, and HP. Utilizing hardware made available after LCM (Life Cycle Management), the environment experiences renewed use.

Maintenance and (re)installations are carried out by Atos employees with extensive experience in this specific equipment. The Tech.Lab is accessible to all Atos customers and employees.

For more information, please contact Paul Distel, Jan Verstappen, Frank Thomas and/or Maarten de Boer.
