There is a distance of more than 7,000 kilometers between CESAF S.r.l. And the Liberian subsidiary. Yet, the modern IT allows us to overcome this gap make it almost imperceptible in terms of communication, sharing and exchange of data and information. And this is all thanks to the creation of an internal network with a NAS server, that the Company decided to adopt in consideration of the Industrial Plan 4.0, the fourth industrial revolution which enhances the digitalization and interconnection of the companies. The use of the new digital technologies allows to have a great development for the use of data, connectivity for the centralization of information and their preservation.
The NAS servers devices (Network Attached Storage) allow to share the memory to save and store files between users connected to the same local network or connected through remote stations. One of the many advantage of the NAS is that it guarantees high accessibility levels: each device connected to the network can enter the storage unit. Also, they allow to centralized the storage of data in the same device that is accessible for all network elements thanks to specific rules and authorizations. The users can be given different authorization levels so that shared data is adequately protected.
On the basis of specific needs, the company decided to adopt NAS Synology which is a leader on the market. One of its main characteristics its the scalability of the architecture: it is possible to easily increment the storage capability without need to update or substitute previous servers and - most importantly - there is not need to block the network operability.
This allows to monitor in a constant and fast manner the various activities and this is fundamental to avoid problems and dead times. Additionally, this gives us the possibility to monitor the progress of the projects and detects and manage contingent issues in a fast manner.
