Windwerk

When wind tunnel Windwerk was founded to allow local Swiss to skydive indoors, safety was priority No. 1. That first meant getting German-engineered equipment for the 17-meter-high tunnel, which blasts winds at speeds of up to 280 kph. Then there was the network controlling the wind tunnel’s operations as well as the facility’s customer service needs. With these high stakes, there could be no room for an outage: Windwerk demanded a network with ultra-high reliability. Here’s how we delivered.
