挑战

SwiftecIT, a mid-sized Boston Area IT services provider, was facing challenges with its legacy IT infrastructure. The company was experiencing growth and needed to manage more customers, an increasing number of internal applications, and more hosting servers for its nascent cloud services. The legacy infrastructure was no longer able to provide the speed, flexibility, backup, high availability, and data recovery functionality that the company and its clients required. SwiftecIT needed a solution that would lower total cost of ownership, scale incrementally as the business grows, and be simple to use.

关于客户

SwiftecIT is a mid-sized IT services provider based in the Boston area. The company caters to small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) clients. It operates from two sites: a primary data center in its headquarters and a regional data center facility for disaster recovery. SwiftecIT offers a wide range of services, including hosting a variety of client applications. The company was an early adopter of VMware and has been proactive in responding to market trends, such as the increasing demand for cloud services among SMEs.

解决方案

SwiftecIT chose SimpliVity's OmniCube as the solution to its challenges. The company first deployed an OmniCube Federation as the platform for its internally used private cloud. After the success of this deployment, SwiftecIT launched its public cloud offering with OmniCube as the foundation. The OmniCube technology allowed SwiftecIT to run a single infrastructure to protect all of their systems, reducing the training required and the ramp-up time for new team members. The company also began recommending the OmniCube to their customers, offering them high-end functionality at an affordable price point.

运营影响

Improved Level of Service to SwiftecIT Customers: The company was able to improve its recovery time objectives (RTOS) and recovery point objectives (RPOs) dramatically by leveraging OmniCube's native VM-level backup functionality.
Simplicity of Management: The entire technical team at SwiftecIT was trained to manage the OmniCube Federation through vCenter in less than 30 minutes.
Peace of Mind: The company's management reported better peace of mind knowing that their customers' VMs were fully protected around the clock.
