The Client
Founded in 1947, Igloo Products Corp. is an
international designer, manufacturer, and marketer of
coolers, drink containers and supporting accessories
headquartered in Texas, United States. With over 500
different products, they are one of the biggest cooler
brands worldwide today and every 1 in 3 households in
America owns at least one Igloo product today.
Their Challenge
The client relied heavily on age-old IT infrastructure for
data integrity, modularity, and business continuity,
resulting in several performance and cost challenges.
As their business expanded, more demands on its
enterprise systems called for regular updates of the IT
infrastructure. They found it difficult to balance the
server loads to ensure smooth operations. Moreover, the
infrastructure was not uniform across their units giving
rise to high maintenance, performance, stability and
interoperability issues.
Our Solution
To provide a seamless network and IT experience to the
client, our team introduced a whole new IT infrastructure
setup in a very short span of time, that met their
budgeted cost factors and supported their future
expandability and redundancy.
