As part of a strategic realignment, the municipality of Aadorf was looking for a reliable partner for complete ICT outsourcing. The goal was to find a future-proof solution for four organisational units with a wide range of requirements – from standard applications and multimedia to performance-intensive CAD workstations. MTF Solutions implemented a multi-cloud strategy that combines private and public clouds, ensures maximum data security and creates a standardised, centrally managed infrastructure for all locations.

CENTRAL CLOUD INFRASTRUCTURE FOR DECENTRALISED ADMINISTRATIVE LOCATIONS
CHALLENGE
The municipality of Aadorf was facing a fundamental change in the management of its ICT infrastructure. For many years, the IT infrastructure had been operated by an internal IT manager together with external partners. Due to his departure, the municipal council sought a reliable partner for the migration, operation and support of the entire ICT landscape as part of the ‘ICT sourcing’ project [RS1] [RH2] project. The aim was to find a modern, uniform solution for the four different locations: the municipal building, the power station (EW), the maintenance depot/fire station and the Aaheim retirement home. The challenge was to reconcile heterogeneous requirements: from the operation of standard and specialist applications (including those from Abraxas and AFI) to secure data storage and high-performance CAD workstations. The key requirements were clear SLAs, high data security and support for modern ways of working such as home office and mobile working – with consistently high availability and performance.
SOLUTION
MTF developed a tailor-made multi-cloud strategy for the diverse requirements of the municipality of Aadorf. The local servers at all four locations were seamlessly migrated to MTF's secure private cloud and supplemented by Microsoft 365 services from the public cloud. The M365 data generated in the process is stored centrally and in compliance with data protection regulations in the MTF cloud. At the same time, the specialist applications from Abraxas and AFI were fully integrated into the new cloud environment and optimised for high-performance operation within the multi-cloud architecture.
The workstations were completely standardised and provided as managed client services. The graphics-intensive CAD workstations were replaced by powerful 3D CAD VDIs from the MTF Cloud – with clear advantages in terms of performance, maintenance and flexibility. The entire ICT is reliably operated and protected by comprehensive managed services for IT operations and security operations (SOC). A central point of contact, binding SLAs and close, partnership-based cooperation with the municipality ensure clear structures, transparency and reliability in operations.
