Case Study: Emprise achieves consolidated servers, reduced downtime and improved productivity with Asigra Cloud Backup™

Emprise Works with Oncore IT Consolidates Servers, Centralises Data Centers and Improves Productivity with Oncore IT and Asigra Cloud Backup™

Emprise, a UK national support services firm (cleaning and security) with over 5,000 staff and £60m+ turnover, was hampered by a patchwork of aging, geographically dispersed servers and manual tape backups. The legacy setup caused frequent downtime, expensive hardware/software licensing, slow data recovery and complexity whenever new offices opened, so Emprise needed consolidated infrastructure, reduced downtime and an automated offsite backup strategy.

Oncore IT rebuilt Emprise’s IT environment—consolidating servers into a single data centre with Microsoft Terminal Services, Active Directory and MPLS, standardising desktops, deploying BlackBerry handsets, and providing 24/7 PReSS monitoring—while using Asigra-powered online backup replicated to secondary and offshore vaults and a tested disaster recovery plan. The result was faster restores (one server restored in under an hour during testing), improved internal and external communications, higher productivity, lower ongoing costs and a scalable platform to support growth (forecast turnover rise and rising headcount).
