The Challenge
SwiftecIT, a small business in the computer services industry, was facing challenges with their existing IT infrastructure. They had a mandate to implement disaster recovery (DR) and improve backup/recovery. However, they found the management of multiple solutions and vendors to be manageable, but not ideal. The company was looking for a solution that could consolidate their data center, modernize their infrastructure, support Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI), and handle production applications, test/dev, and QA.
