Tengelmann E-Commerce GmbH, a subsidiary of the well-known German food company, will now be operating its e-commerce shop Plus.de (owned by the subsidiary Plus Online GmbH) from the Pironet NDH business cloud. The online shop Plus.de offers more than 25,000 products, including house wares, home and garden, DIY and hobby products. Goods range from frying pans to ultra-light airplanes. Services range from a photo lab and floral services to travel agency, cellular services and dental insurance.
The technical operation of the portal in the Pironet NDH Datacenter business cloud is mainly carried out based on Intershop Enfinity and Oracle and is supplemented by a recommendation engine, which proactively provides purchase recommendations based on specific user behavior.
"The reliable protection of customer data, high portal efficiency levels during peak times and the supplemental operation of special applications (product recommendation engine) were the main requirements for our cloud solution", comments Christian Winter, Managing Director of Tengelmann E-Commerce GmbH.
Pironet NDH's business cloud virtually provides fail-safe applications, computing services and storage capacity from two geographically separate high-performance data centers. Companies have the option of activating or deactivating specific services and ICT resources as required. This way, companies reduce project risk and initial investment within their own infrastructure and benefit from flexible business development cost scheduling.
As a multi-certified online shop, Plus.de takes the issue of data security/protection very seriously. The German E-Commerce and Distance Selling Trade Association (Bundesverband des deutschen Versandhandels) and the Technical Inspection Authority (TÜV) e-commerce platform organizations require strict adherence to IT security procedures when dealing with personal customer data.
"As an ICT outsourcing provider, we specialize in the efficient 24x7 operation of business-critical applications", explains Udo Faulhaber, Managing Director of Sales at Pironet NDH Datacenter. "All IT components, service parameters and processes are monitored and documented around the clock to prevent unauthorized incidents/access. Along with our strict internal formalities, we also have our security technology tested and certified for quality by reputable, external entities."
