MANAGEMENT OF A SECURE PRIVATE CLOUD FOR CHICAGO-BASED NON-PROFIT FINANCIAL INVESTMENT FIRM WITHIN STORCOM’S DATA CENTER
“We have worked with Storcom for a long time on many different projects, and Storcom has always come through for us. They were our obvious first choice when we looked at private cloud solutions.” – VP of IT for a Chicago-based non-profit financial investment firm
A. CHALLENGES FACED
This client wanted to reduce capital IT expenditures and downtime. This client did not have the in-house expertise in order to manage IT infrastructure. They also wanted the ability to focus on implementing an IT strategy that would better suit their business needs. They have a local office and a number of remote branch offices; therefore, a cloud offering made sense for their distributed workforce.
B. STORCOM’S SOLUTION
Storcom consulted with the client and learned about their challenges and business concerns. It was later decided that migrating to Storcom’s private cloud was the ideal solution to this particular company’s problems after being presented with multiple options. The control and security of Storcom’s private cloud offering were precisely what the customer searched for and a symbiotic relationship formed.
C. RESULTS
This investment firm is now receiving the benefits of Storcom’s secure private cloud management. The flexibility, control, and security was exactly what Storcom’s client wanted and needed to free up time for IT staff.
D. TOOLS UTILIZED
- Storcom’s Private Cloud Solution
- VMware vSphere VSAN
- VMware vCloud Director
