Case Study: Emprise achieves centralised servers and reduced downtime with Asigra

Emprise Consolidated Servers and Centralised Data Centers for Efficiency and Less Downtime

Emprise, a UK-based independent support services company with thousands of employees and national operations, was struggling with a labyrinthine, ageing IT estate: multiple dispersed servers, unreliable communications with many failure points, and tape-based backups that required local administrators and caused slow, risky restores. Opening or moving offices was costly and time-consuming because each location needed its own servers and links, and the business needed a centralised, more resilient and manageable IT platform.

oncore IT implemented a consolidated infrastructure using Microsoft Terminal Services, a single central datacentre over an MPLS network, uniform PC policies, BlackBerry rollout for mobile access, and Asigra-powered online backup (PReSS/Hybrid Cloud Backup) with offsite and offshore vault replication and tested disaster recovery. The result: reduced downtime and administration, faster restores, improved internal and external communications, higher productivity and client responsiveness, lower long‑term costs and a scalable platform to support Emprise’s continued growth.
