The Challenge
Cochrane & Company, an insurance underwriting services provider, was facing challenges with its aging on-premises hardware. The company needed a flexible and scalable solution that could provide secure and reliable access to data. The increasing threats of cybersecurity were also a concern. The company's existing virtualized environment was not compatible with cloud solutions like Azure or AWS, and the in-house team lacked the expertise to make it work. The company's data center infrastructure was also becoming too large for one person to handle.
About The Customer
Cochrane & Company is a provider of professional and timely insurance underwriting services for retail agents. The company was established in 1960 and is headquartered in Spokane, Washington. It is one of the premier General Agents in the West and is licensed in all 50 states, with a growing national footprint. With decades of experience supported by binding authority and strong carrier relationships, Cochrane & Company helps its customers navigate today’s complex insurance environment and deliver the coverage their clients need. The company has been steadily growing over the past decade and a half, leading to an increase in data and a need for more manpower to manage it.
The Solution
Cochrane & Company opted for 11:11 Secure Cloud, which allowed the company to run its existing VMware workloads in the cloud without refactoring, rearchitecting, or disruption. The company is currently using 11:11 Secure Cloud to host its development and testing environment, with plans to transition to the cloud full-time. The migration process is simplified by a comprehensive approach that includes a dedicated project manager and cloud services engineers. The company also uses 11:11 Cloud Backup for Veeam Cloud Connect with Insider Protection, which provides data protection against internal and external threats, including ransomware and malicious or accidental deletion.
