A single infrastructure for the company’s digital core.
Prefabricated ANSI/TIA Rating 3 certified data center for the ceramic industry.
In the industrial sector, operational continuity is not an option but a strategic priority.
For IRIS Ceramiche, a leading company in the ceramic industry at both national and international levels, the objective was clear: to overcome the fragmentation of small data centers spread across its production sites and to build a centralized, owned, and certified data center.
The challenge was to transform an unstructured IT infrastructure into a modern, resilient system designed to grow over time.
The initial requirements
The starting point was a distributed IT system, consisting of multiple data centers that were not uniform with one another. IRIS Ceramiche needed to consolidate all resources into a single certified infrastructure capable of ensuring:
- Greater operational reliability
- Controlled and documented resilience
- Future scalability
- Compliance with defined timelines
- Certification in accordance with international standards
- Accessibility also for operators with disabilities
The collaboration with DataDom stemmed from an already established relationship with HiRef for maintenance activities and air conditioning systems, which facilitated immediate, solution-oriented technical dialogue.
The DataDom solution
The solution was a prefabricated DataDom Plus data center, designed to accommodate 10 racks arranged in two rows with cold aisle containment.
The infrastructure was developed to achieve ANSI/TIA Rating 3 certification, ensuring a level of resilience suited to a highly critical industrial environment.
The infrastructure integrates two close-control units for precision cooling and a redundant electrical architecture with two 30 kW three-phase UPS systems and dual PDUs, supporting operational continuity.
Security is ensured by a fire detection and suppression system using NOVEC gas, while continuous monitoring is managed through the HiNode system.
The prefabricated configuration made it possible to adapt the layout to the required dimensional specifications, while ensuring compliance with the defined implementation timeline.
An infrastructure designed for the future
With this project, IRIS Ceramiche achieved a significant qualitative leap: moving from the management of distributed and unstructured data centers to a centralized, resilient, certified, and scalable data center.
A transformation that now enables more effective support of production and organizational processes, reducing operational risk and improving control over the IT infrastructure.
This collaboration has also led to a technological evolution: the integration of IRIS Ceramiche’s photocatalytic ventilated façade panels into the modular products of the DataDom series — a combination of industrial innovation and digital infrastructure.
