A successful partnership model for modern infrastructure
Restolution is a Nordic technology company providing a cloud-based platform for the hospitality sector. Its solution brings together all key components of the restaurant ecosystem, including sales, payments, kitchen operations and analytics, into one integrated service.
Thousands of restaurants, hotels, cafés, and entertainment venues across the Nordics rely on Restolution to support their daily operations. More than €200 million in sales transactions are processed through the platform every month.
Digita Data Centers delivered a new data center and infrastructure solution for Restolution in partnership with Alpit Nordic. The solution is based on a three-party model in which Digita is responsible for the data center and infrastructure services, Alpit provides the technical implementation, and Restolution receives the complete solution through a single coordinated partnership.
The Challenge
The Challenge
Restolution operates in Finland, Norway, and Denmark and employs approximately 100 people. With annual revenue of around €14 million, the company has established itself as a significant player in the hospitality software market.
Its services handle business-critical data, including receipts and accounting records, which must remain accessible and securely stored for several years to meet legal requirements. At the same time, real-time availability and service continuity are essential for delivering a reliable customer experience.
Restolution’s previous data center provider was unable to meet the company’s growing requirements for availability and business continuity. In addition, the service model would have required a significant investment of internal resources and time away from Restolution’s core business, which was not considered a viable long-term approach.
Another key driver for change was the need to prepare for increasing cybersecurity requirements. The stricter standards introduced through the NIS2 Directive also affect Restolution’s customer base. The new infrastructure creates a solid foundation for long-term cybersecurity development, supporting the company’s objectives of achieving ISO 27001 certification and meeting the requirements of key security standards.
The Solution
The Solution
The solution was implemented in Digita’s Pasila Data Center using a fully redundant architecture, including:
- Redundant data center environments located in separate buildings
- Server and network infrastructure for business-critical systems
- Advanced security and firewall solutions
- 24/7 monitoring and ongoing maintenance services
The resulting platform combines controlled infrastructure with the flexibility of a hybrid model, ensuring that critical data remains secure, continuously available, and accessible in real time.
Alpit served as Digita’s technical implementation partner, designing and delivering the platform together with Restolution’s specialists. Alpit specializes in managed IT services and brings extensive expertise in server, network, and cybersecurity environments.
Collaboration
The project was carried out through close cooperation between Digita, Alpit, and Restolution. Digita’s partner-driven approach enabled Restolution to leverage the necessary expertise without expanding its own organization.
A clear division of responsibilities supported efficient project execution:
- Digita: data center environment and infrastructure services
- Alpit: technical design and implementation
- Restolution: business requirements and operational needs
This collaborative model ensured smooth delivery and effective decision-making throughout the project.
Benefits
Benefits
The new solution provides Restolution with several key advantages:
- High availability and reliability for business-critical systems
- Improved cost predictability and control compared to cloud-based alternatives
- Scalable infrastructure to support future growth
- Clear accountability and an outsourced operational model
- Reliable data retention that meets audit and compliance requirements
With the new infrastructure in place, Restolution can ensure the continuity of its services while supporting future growth and development in an increasingly demanding operating environment.
“The collaboration with Digita and Alpit was smooth and straightforward from the very beginning. Each party had a clearly defined role and area of responsibility, and the project progressed according to schedule. It was reassuring to see such a high level of professionalism throughout the entire project.”
Jukka Heiskanen, CIO, Restolution Oy
“The implementation project went very smoothly, despite some tightening of the final deployment schedule compared to the original plan. Communication between all parties was seamless throughout the project, enabling a successful outcome.”Vesa Korkiamäki, CEO, Alpit Nordic Oy
“Restolution’s requirement for high availability and uninterrupted service operation was a demanding one to fulfill. However, we were able to meet this requirement with Alpit acting as both our SaaS provider and cooperation partner.
Alpit managed the technical specifications, procurement, and implementation of the hardware and software across our two data centers at the Pasila campus.
As a salesperson, it was a great relief to see how thoroughly Alpit explained the different technical options for achieving high availability and how professionally they managed the entire project.”
