Case Study / TIA Private Terminal

TIA Private Terminal's IT, from the passenger terminal to a clustered cloud built for GDPR.

TIA Private Terminal runs the VIP terminal at Tirana International Airport. Since it opened in 2022, Techi has built and supported the IT in its head office and in the terminal where passengers pass, and has moved the whole infrastructure to Hetzner with stronger security so the company meets GDPR.

Client

A private terminal where passengers expect everything to work.

TIA Private Terminal & Exclusive Club opened at Tirana International Airport “Mother Teresa” on 1 April 2022. In its own terminal it handles check-in, passport control and security for departing and arriving passengers, with a lounge, a meeting room and staff who rely on the IT at every step.

Challenge

The IT had to grow from a first setup to GDPR compliance.

At the start, the company needed IT support and a full setup in its head office and in the terminal: network, servers and security.

Later the company had to be GDPR compliant. That meant moving the whole infrastructure to a cloud that fits GDPR and adding more security measures.

Solution

Built on site first, then moved to a clustered cloud.

  1. 01

    Head Office & Terminal

    We built the network, servers and security in the head office and in the terminal where passengers pass, and we support them every day.

  2. 02

    Migration to Hetzner

    To meet GDPR, we moved the whole infrastructure to Hetzner and added security measures.

  3. 03

    Files & Domain Controller in the Cloud

    File sharing and the domain controller now run in the cloud, in clusters, so one failed server does not stop the company.

  4. 04

    Internal Systems with Alpine Edge

    With Alpine Edge, we set up internal chat, an omnichannel system, a password manager and MDM for the company's Android devices.

Results

One clustered cloud for the whole company, built for GDPR.
