CloudSmartz case study based on a global manufacturer of commercial electronics with operations through 34 countries. Case study overviews both Cloud and Infrastructure as a Service Services.

1. The client has maintained multiple Data Centers throughout the America’s operations which
required continual investment and upkeep to meet the ever-increasing demands of the
organization’s business units. Provisioning of new systems took a substantial amount of time
and IT staff were tasked with multiple (and at times, competing) responsibilities. Numerous
mission-critical systems maintained on the physical servers were aging and would require
significant expense to upgrade.
