    • Challenges

    With the expansion in demand for their subscription-based services, the company required infrastructure that could cope with the scale of new clients and more demanding data workloads.
    With previous consideration of other solution competitors; rack space, operational cost and maintenance were the main deterrent factors that the company faced. Furthermore, they required flexibility and scalability with no lock-in technology for future plans of refreshment.



    How We Helped

    As the initial proposal of other providers requiring more racks, more operational costs and more individual systems needing to be maintained, we recommended integrating a MicroCloud for substantial storage density for content delivery.
    The main beneficial features of this solution are the ease of maintenance with reduced costs, with multiple configurations, more performance based and added flexibility. As such, we optimised a solution to match the refreshment requirements the company had, whilst also satisfying the key deterrent factors faced from other competitors.
    The proposed solution provided many improvements in footprint and performance, whilst simultaneously satisfying their cost, rack space and maintenance driving factors. Overall, integrating a highly scalable and flexible solution within Australia.
