Gray Matter, a successful and ambitious small business, was experiencing growing pains. Existing IT infrastructure boxed them in right when the company was poised to expand in the marketplace. Their legacy server became a bottleneck as it handled every aspect of the business simultaneously. Vital proprietary data storage lacked security and redundancy. Plans to expand their Internet presence were delayed indefinitely.
RO Anderson IT Services converted Gray Matter to a virtual server environment. Dual, expandable, high performance servers were introduced. Between those machines, several virtual servers were created to handle each aspect of the business independently.
Updates to the database server no longer require cutting off mail and file services. New services can be added, tested and deployed without disturbing existing ones. Backups, stored on and off site, can be made for data and the virtual machines to ensure minimal downtime in the event of failures or disasters. Development of their expanded Internet presence can start in the virtual environment and be transferred to a web host when complete.
Gray Matter is now free to take advantage of its potential, without being hampered by inflexible technology. Server virtualization is one of the many solutions RO Anderson IT Services can provide. Let us help you to realize the potential of your company. Contact us for more information.
