Aligrup S.p.A.
Case Study |
Aligrup S.p.A.(San Giovanni La Punta), a major retailer representing Despar (SPAR International)
throughout most of Sicily, has been expanding in both physical space, reach and subsequently, its IT
network. Because of this, the food retailer needed a more secure and reliable system to meet their
needs, as well as the needs of several other companies who lease space from them in their new
location. Allied Telesis helped them develop a high-performing and more secure network solution by
providing multi-layer switches integrated with existing Allied Telesis devices.
Customer Profile
Aligrup S.p.A. creates and promotes high-quality distribution
systems predominantly geared towards meeting the demand
for food products and services.
Although Aligrup S.p.A. was officially founded in 1987,
Sebastiano Scuto, a wholesale grain dealer, laid the foundations
for the company over a century ago. Since then, Aligrup S.p.A.
has played an increasing role in Sicily's economic
development.
This development culminated in the agreement signed
between Coop and Despar. They created a common
purchasing company called Centrale Italiana.The alliance will
help improve the distribution system and achieve economies
of scale in purchase management. Aligrup S.p.A. is generating
24% of their turnover.

Aligrup S.p.A., San Giovanni La Punta, Catania, Italy
The Customer Challenge
As Aligrup S.p.A. expanded, they needed a network that was
flexible and configured to handle the current and future needs
for a distributed system. Since the new Aligrup S.p.A. office
space in San Giovanni la Punta is large and modern, they
decided to lease part of it to turnkey contracts.They also
decided to offer the other companies infrastructure services,
including networking services.
This affected many of the decisions about their network. In
addition to paying extra attention to security levels, they
wanted to segment the network without sacrificing
performance and reliability, and to scale the network for
future needs.
