Dell Technologies Infrastructure for Industrial Operations
Contec is a Dell Technologies Gold Partner, helping manufacturers build reliable IT and edge infrastructure for their industrial operations.
We design, implement and support Dell Technologies solutions for the applications and data used across production environments. Our expertise covers servers, storage, virtualization, backup and edge infrastructure, supported by a strong understanding of operational technology requirements.
Dell Technologies Solutions Delivered by Contec
Contec designs and implements Dell-based infrastructure for manufacturers that need reliable computing, storage and virtualization close to their industrial operations.
01. Server and Infrastructure Platforms
Using Dell PowerEdge servers, Contec delivers reliable infrastructure for SCADA, MES, MOM, historians, databases and production reporting systems. We deploy solutions for server rooms and control rooms that support the performance, availability and scalability requirements of industrial operations.
02. Edge Computing Infrastructure
With Dell Edge solutions, we bring computing resources closer to machines, production lines and industrial data sources. This enables local data processing, improved responsiveness and support for distributed operations.
03. Storage Solutions
We design and implement Dell storage solutions that support production data, virtual machines and industrial applications, while meeting requirements for performance, capacity and availability.
04. Virtualization and Hyperconverged Infrastructure
Contec delivers virtualized and hyperconverged platforms that combine compute, storage and virtualization resources into a scalable and manageable infrastructure, helping customers consolidate and simplify their industrial IT environments.

Our Dell Technologies Integration Approach
ASSESS
We review the existing infrastructure, industrial applications, data volumes, network connections, availability requirements and future plans.
DESIGN
Our engineers define the server, storage, virtualization and backup architecture based on the operational and technical requirements of the production environment.
CONFIGURE
We configure the selected Dell Technologies infrastructure and prepare it for the applications it will host.
INTEGRATE
The new infrastructure is connected with industrial networks, applications, data sources and existing IT systems.
MIGRATE AND COMMISSION
Contec supports application migration, testing, commissioning and production handover, with careful planning to reduce operational disruption.
SUPPORT
After implementation, our teams can provide technical support, infrastructure improvements, expansion and lifecycle services.
Infrastructure Built Around Industrial Applications
Contec does more than deliver server and storage equipment. We design the infrastructure around the industrial applications that depend on it, including SCADA, MES, MOM, historians, production databases, reporting platforms and OT monitoring tools.
Our teams work across industrial IT, automation, manufacturing software, networking and OT cybersecurity. This allows customers to work with one integration partner for the infrastructure, applications, connectivity and ongoing support.
Dell Technologies Expertise Across Industrial Sectors
Contec delivers industrial IT and infrastructure projects for sectors including:
Why manufacturers choose Contec for Dell Technologies projects
Contec combines Dell Technologies expertise with more than 40 years of industrial engineering and system integration experience.
