Support server in Genova.

Genova is the main port and industrial hub of north-west Italy: the third-largest Mediterranean port, home to a shipbuilding district (Fincantieri Sestri Ponente), steel industry (ArcelorMittal Cornigliano), energy sector (Ansaldo Energia, ERG), medical devices (Esaote) and cruise lines (Costa, MSC). Thousands of enterprise servers across port terminals, shipyards, factories, banks, healthcare and public administration.

We work primarily via secure remote support: we connect to your server in about 5 minutes via VPN/ZTNA and in 90% of cases we resolve remotely. When a physical presence is needed, from Melzo (MI) we reach Genova in 2h 15min–2h 45min via A7 / A21 (approx. 180 km).

05 / Specific IT challenges

The sfide IT typical in Genova.

Each territory has different IT priorities, shaped by its own industrial fabric. In Genova, the requests we receive most frequently are:

  • Mission-critical 24/7 for the port — Terminal Operating System (Navis, Cosmos), gate operations, customs interface. 99.99% uptime, geographic fail-over, real-time monitoring.
  • Naval shipbuilding: enterprise CAD/PLM environments — NX/CATIA/Aveva systems for Fincantieri and its supply chain. High-IOPS SAN storage, deterministic time-sync between departments.
  • Defence and dual-use compliance — Fincantieri/Leonardo naval segment: air-gap segregation, classified data handling, ITAR-friendly.
  • Real-time cruise booking for Costa/MSC — global booking backends, integration with port systems, summer seasonal peaks.
