On-Premises Data Centre Migration to the Cloud: Cost effective, Automations, Quick Recovery, Quick Deployments

Syntegra Solutions is an organization that provides Information Solutions to large and medium-sized organizations in Sub Saharan Africa.

Syntegra Solutions provides IT solutions to businesses including running and maintaining IT infrastructure, developing business applications, data analytics and e-commerce solutions. Historically, they have operated On-Premises Data Centres for hosting their clients’ servers and applications. As their customers grew, so too did the demands placed on their servers – and lengthy procurement cycles meant that growth-related performance issues could not be easily addressed. With the increasing digitalization within their customers, they were also seeing demand for hosting new applications – each of which required server capacity in the form of Production, QA, Development and Disaster Recovery environments. At the same time, the investments required into utility infrastructure (particularly clean power, and always-on connectivity), were increasing – in order to support businesses that were increasingly operating 24×7. Syntegra were looking for a solution which would enable them to easily add or subtract compute capacity, and to scale up or down – depending on workload. In addition, they were looking for protection from local utility service provider failures, and the peace of mind that customer data and backups were both secure, and accessible.
