The owner-managed Erik Sterck GmbH, headquartered in Leonberg, Baden-Württemberg, advises companies individually and in partnership in the entire data center environment as well as on cloud-native services and cybersecurity. Across Germany, we are also represented in Cologne and Munich. We provide manufacturer-independent, uncompromisingly targeted, fair and objective advice. Our goal is to achieve optimum results for your individual needs. A particular focus is on the topic of automation. We explore the question of how operations services can be made available more easily and flexibly within the company. From improvements of IT processes to fully automated operations stacks that include new applications and platforms. This allows our clients' IT departments to focus more on IT innovation and demonstrate the benefits of digital processes to their business. Every day, we use our experience and absolute expertise to implement sustainable solutions. From consulting workshops to implementation, we are at your disposal as a partner and successfully implement projects both in virtual server environments and in container-virtualized environments.
Where existing solutions reach their limits, we go two steps further. We develop innovative solutions for today, tomorrow, and the day after. In doing so, we completely redefine security and flexibility for future application scenarios. Customer focus is our core competence.
With dedication, passion, and the unwavering will to go the extra mile. We collaborate with globally leading manufacturers, which frees us from being tied to a limited product portfolio. This opens up a wide range of possibilities for us to provide the individually optimal solution for our customers from both technical and commercial perspectives.
Oliver Batz and Erik Sterck have proven that they make a good team over many years of working together as colleagues. The joint step into self-employment was therefore an obvious one. The story of Erik Sterck GmbH began as a two-man operation in an office in Tiefenbronn. What happened next? Discover the history of our system house:
Erik Sterck GmbH is founded by Oliver Batz and Erik Sterck. We move into our first office in Tiefenbronn in the Enzkreis district. Our core business is manufacturer-independent data center infrastructures. In the server and storage sector, we build up a high-performance portfolio with the help of global market leaders.
We continue to deepen our business and build up expertise. This leads to the first improvements in our partner status with Nutanix (Premium Partner) and NetApp (Gold Partner).
Erik Sterck GmbH grows. As a result, the start-up landscape in Tiefenbronn no longer meets the requirements for professional scheduling. Our next step: New offices in Leonberg. This is followed by the first manufacturer awards and an expansion of the portfolio.
We achieve the highest partner level "Elite Partner" at Nutanix. The new DevOps division is founded and the team is expanded. This is followed by a move to larger facilities in Leonberg.
We are very proud of the founding of the Bavarian branch in Munich Grünwald and the start of our local business operations in Bavaria. The DevOps division gets off to a successful start and is expanded to include additional colleagues. Due to the staff increase, another move to larger business premises is necessary.
Introduction of ES Cloud-native Services. With the four services: Container, Git, Infrastructure and S3, things get underway.
The third location in Cologne, North Rhine-Westphalia is launched and with it local business operations on site. We start the partnership with Adfinis AG and restructure the DevOps organization.
