Challenge

Allern Enterprises faced a series of challenges stemming from their traditional on-premise architecture and storage infrastructure. The company grappled with silos of data storage, leading to frequent server upgrades in attempts to keep up with expanding storage demands.  

Accumulating 100 TB of data on-premises with ongoing growth exacerbated the problem, causing a storage crunch. This pushed customers towards purchasing additional hardware, a costly and time-consuming solution. 

Moreover, Allern Enterprises lacked scalable solutions for backups, disaster recovery (DR), and archiving within their existing setup. The need for a scalable, dependable, and cost-effective backup solution became evident. 

One key challenge was the increased capacity requirements. Addressing the evolving needs of a growing business, especially accommodating capacity spikes during seasonal shifts, was difficult with their on-premises approach.  

Software and hardware refresh cycles were another issue. On-premises systems necessitated significant upfront investment for capacity that might not be fully utilized. Security threats also loomed as a concern. The traditional architecture lacked the dynamic adaptability to respond to emerging security challenges effectively. 

Solution

Through a strategic partnership with Cloud 9’s managed services and harnessing the capabilities of Microsoft Cloud offerings, Allern Enterprises achieved a remarkable transformation in their IT capabilities. They said goodbye to the constraints of on-premises hardware. They embraced a cloud-centric approach that not only modernized their IT environment but also provided scalable solutions for their evolving needs. 

Leveraging Azure Data Box and Azure Storage, Allern seamlessly addressed their immediate and future data requirements. The migration of a substantial volume of on-premises data to the Azure cloud platform was facilitated efficiently and securely, enabling data centralization, and unlocking newfound agility. 

Key benefits derived from this collaboration include: 

  • Enhanced Security: Cloud storage, spread across redundant servers, ensures data safety even if specific data centers experience issues. The distributed nature of cloud storage, composed of numerous data centers, virtually eliminates the risk of data loss. 
  • Mobility: With Office 365 credentials serving as the access gateway, users can operate applications from any internet-connected device, promoting flexibility and accessibility. 
  • Scalability: Cloud storage offers a dynamic and scalable environment. Upgrading service plans is seamless, without the need for data migration. Additional storage capacity is effortlessly integrated, along with supplementary features. 
  • Cost Efficiency: The resilient nature of cloud storage, safeguarded by multiple data centers, further underpins the cost-effectiveness by minimizing potential data loss risks. The inherent redundancy provided by the cloud infrastructure adds to the overall value proposition. 
  • Agility: Allern Enterprises gained the ability to swiftly develop, test, and deploy new applications or services with minimal costs, enabling innovation and responsiveness. 
  • Operational Excellence: Cloud 9’s managed services played a crucial role in monitoring and maintaining the Azure environment. Their comprehensive support, including after-hours assistance through global delivery capability, ensured operational continuity. 

In embracing Cloud 9’s managed services and adopting Microsoft Cloud solutions, Allern Enterprises transcended the limitations of its traditional infrastructure.
