Como at a glance
Como: the industrial fabric and its server infrastructure.
Como is a province with a strong and varied economic identity: the historic textile/silk district of the city of Como (one of the world's centres for high-end silk), the furniture design cluster around Cantù and Mariano Comense (linked to the Brianza area), the tourism and hospitality sector on Lake Como (a significant industry, with servers running hotel management systems), and the cross-border dimension with Switzerland (Chiasso, Mendrisio), which brings IT infrastructure with cross-border requirements.
For our hardware work this means heterogeneous profiles: ERP clusters for textiles (collection management, integration with fashion customers), business systems for furniture design (CAD, production), infrastructure for the lake's luxury hotels (PMS, booking management, integrated payment systems). We often see smaller systems with high availability requirements, driven by the luxury segments they serve.
From Melzo, the city of Como takes about 75 minutes via the Tangenziale Est + A36, or the A4 + A9. Cantù, Erba and Mariano Comense take 60-80 minutes. Olgiate Comasco and Lurate Caccivio take 75-90 minutes. The Triangolo Lariano (Bellagio, Menaggio) can take 90-120 minutes because of the lakeside roads.

FAQ · Como
The questions we are asked most often about the Como area.
How long does it take to reach a site in Como?
From Melzo, the city of Como is about 75 minutes via the Tangenziale Est + A36, or the A4 + A9. Cantù 60-70 minutes, Erba 70-85 minutes. Olgiate Comasco 75-90 minutes. The Triangolo Lariano (Bellagio, Menaggio) can take up to 2 hours because of the lakeside roads. Under a Critical contract, the 4-hour SLA is achievable within our standard territory.
Do you work on systems for luxury hotels and lakeside properties?
Yes. For hospitality customers on Lake Como (luxury hotels, historic villas, premium services) we handle PMS platforms (Opera, Protel, Mews), integrated payment systems, restaurant POS, and sometimes CRM on Salesforce/Microsoft Dynamics. Sensitivity to downtime is very high during high season (June to September).
Silk textile district: what servers do we see?
At textile customers around Como: ERP clusters for collection management (often integrated with Microsoft Dynamics NAV/BC or industry-specific systems), file servers holding archives of historic patterns and designs (hundreds of GB to TB of vector files), integrations with global fashion customers (Italy, France, USA, the Far East). Typical vendors: Dell PowerEdge and HPE ProLiant.
Furniture design in Cantù: what is the typical IT profile?
High-end furniture design companies tend to run leaner infrastructure: 1-3 physical servers, CAD file servers holding engineering archives, ERP systems, terminal servers for engineering and sales offices. Backups matter a great deal (losing CAD projects means losing core assets), as does operational continuity, so that production is not slowed down.
Do you also work with cross-border customers that have an Italian base?
Yes, frequently. Companies with an Italian HQ in Como and cross-border operations in Ticino/Switzerland tend to run IT infrastructure with cross-border requirements (compliance, data, integration with Swiss systems). On the hardware side our work is the same; for ongoing systems administration, the group's reference is AssistenzaServer.eu.
