  • Strengthening digital sovereignty: Zeppelin Systems relies on a future-proof monitoring solution with the Centreon IT Edition
  • Efficient IT monitoring: The platform enables precise monitoring, faster problem detection and automatic configuration
  • Strong partnership: CANCOM supports Zeppelin Systems as a Centreon expert in the further development of the monitoring strategy

Zeppelin Systems, the plant engineering specialist within the globally operating Zeppelin Group, has further developed its internal IT monitoring in collaboration with CANCOM. With the introduction of the Centreon IT Edition, the company is relying on a modern, automated platform that takes efficiency, flexibility and security to a new level when monitoring the IT infrastructure.

Digital sovereignty and resilience as the key to the future

In the context of growing dependencies on global hyperscalers and increasing cyber threats, the digital sovereignty of German industry is becoming more and more important. Plant manufacturer Zeppelin Systems in Friedrichshafen recognized this change early on and is specifically relying on modern monitoring technologies to strengthen the resilience of its IT landscape. “With the further development of our IT monitoring platform, we are actively contributing to ensuring the availability and security of our systems – a crucial factor for the future viability and sovereignty of our company,” says Dierk Uhr, head of the IT & Organization department at Zeppelin Systems.

Advantages of the Centreon IT Edition: More control, less effort

In collaboration with CANCOM, Zeppelin Systems has chosen the Centreon IT Edition, an innovative technology that increases the company’s digital independence and robustness. The monitoring solution provides a central, reliable platform that enables efficient monitoring of both local and global IT assets and quick responses to potential problems. This strengthens digital sovereignty and ensures business continuity even in challenging times. The solution provides precise monitoring of IT assets, including cloud assets, automatic discovery and configuration, and a single source of truth for IT system assessment. “With Centreon, we always had the flexibility to customize the monitoring to our needs. Thanks to the new edition, we can further expand and automate monitoring to get the most out of our IT resources,” said Jonas Kemmer, IT Infrastructure Coordinator at Zeppelin Systems.

CANCOM, a long-standing partner of Zeppelin Systems and Centreon expert, supported the entire process of further developing the monitoring platform. “Based on Zeppelin Systems’ requirements and the existing IT infrastructure, we have created a customized monitoring solution that supports digital sovereignty and resilience,” explains Tim HĂĽrter, Monitoring Solution Manager at CANCOM. “Based on the Centreon IT Edition, the company can successfully meet the challenges of digitization.”

Technology as a driver for efficiency and security

As a digitized company, Zeppelin Systems is faced with the challenge of keeping its complex and highly integrated business processes available at all times. From production to design, from sales to logistics – all digital activities must be continuously monitored to ensure smooth operation. “Our IT systems are indispensable for the work of numerous people who drive our business forward worldwide. Centreon IT Edition offers us the flexibility and efficiency we need to respond to the ever-increasing demands on our digital infrastructure,” explains Dierk Uhr.
