The ORBIT story
More than three decades of gaining experience, building trust and forming exceptional DNA
Founding in Nový Jičín | 1991
- What did the founding fathers pursue with the name ORBIT when they founded the company after the revolution? ORB as the initials of the founders and IT as information technology? Or OR as a programming language command and BIT as a unit of information?
"B" is correct.
However, ORBIT received the trade "IT services" at its inception. Since then, it has gone through four stages of building technological and project know-howduring which his unique DNA.
Stage 1: PC Virtualization | 1995 to present
- The ORBIT story has gained momentum thanks to the perfect use of technology WinView/WinFrame companies Citrix. Successful projects focused on PC (end station) virtualization and an increase in the number of clients resulted in establishment of the Prague office (2002).
When later Citrix has added the technology to its portfolio Netscaler, a unique specialization in safe endpoint virtualizationwhich remains a key pillar of ORBIT to this day. Between 2005 and 2015, there was no financial institution in Central Europe in whose virtualization project ORBIT was not involved either directly or at least as a subcontractor.
Gradually, we have also approached companies in computationally intensive industries for whom the concept is designed 3D Workplace. Most of the installations are still working and we are still managing them.
What we're proud of:
- Tatra banka: endpoint virtualization
- Doosan Lentjes: virtualisation of the CAD environment
- Société Générale: Competence centre and desktop virtualization
Stage 2: Infrastructure consolidation | 2010 to present
- Through the implementation of virtualization projects, ORBIT has become extremely proficient in the modification of IT infrastructure. Since 2010, it has therefore expanded its services to include consolidation and centralisation of IT infrastructure and data centres.
Specialising in VMware a MicrosoftThe second technological pillar of ORBIT was born from the ability to process a complex analysis of the environment, to propose solution options and to correctly calculate ROI and TCO.
Data centre, IT and cloud consolidation projects we design and manage to this day. In addition, our specialty has become disaster recovery projects.
What we're proud of:
- O2: Consolidation of network datacentre
- Volkswagen Financial Services: datacentre migration
- Raiffeisenbank: why does capacity planning pay?
Stage 3: Cloud | 2015 to present
- The foundations of the third technological pillar of ORBIT were laid by the development of cloud technologies and the need to offer customers scenarios including AWS a Azure Variants.
Today we offer our customers a complete Cloud Journey focused on strategy, roadmap, compliance, architecture, migration and operations for all major cloud providers (AWS, Azure, Google, Oracle). In regulated sectors (especially in the world of financial institutions), we are the Central European leader for cloud compliance and cloud governance.
In 2019, ORBIT became part of the project and engineering group of SUDOP GROUP a. s., or the IT services part SUDOP CIT.
What we're proud of:
- MONETA Money Bank: resource optimization in the cloud
- Česká spořitelna: Migration to Microsoft 365
- Raiffeisenbank: Automation of application deployment to AWS
Stage 4: Security | 2020 to present
- The three previous pillars are based, among other things, on the element of security. ORBIT has therefore built dedicated security teamthat connects all on-premise and cloud-based customer processes and technologies into meaningful IT security.
At the same time, our projects in Central Europe have grown so much that we have been able to support international expansion founded a sister organization Orbit Cloud Solutions GmbH based in Vienna.
What we're proud of:
- Fortuna: What did the datacentre audit reveal?
- Our service intervention resuscitated the customer's IT infrastructure
The next chapters of the ORBIT story
- The last pillar of ORBIT has always been and will always be IT support. It makes us not just a supplier of technological know-how (cloud, security, modern workplace, IT consolidation), but a trusted partner of its customersthat we accompany with IT changes.
We will continue to bet on strong DNA of ORBIT standing on a combination of technology, knowledge and our approach: to each other, to our customers and to our commitments.
To continue the ORBIT story through the next stages.
We're head in the cloud, feet in the on-premise
