Background
The company's design and production data was spread across local servers at five sites. Teams were working from different copies of the same files, and storage costs were rising every year as on-premises hardware reached capacity.
The challenge
- No central copy of data, which led to duplicate files and version conflicts between sites
- Sensitive design files were being shared over email and USB drives
- On-premises storage was close to capacity, with costly hardware upgrades due
Our solution
Serverstock designed and implemented a central storage platform on Microsoft Azure.
- Migrated 50 TB of design and production data to Azure Blob Storage
- Set up automated, geo-redundant backups for business continuity
- Linked access to Active Directory so employees only see the data their role requires
The outcome
All five facilities now work from the same data, with access control and backups managed centrally instead of site by site.
