Case Study: U-Drive achieves a more stable, cost-effective IT infrastructure with Blue Chip

U-Drive - Customer Case Study

U-Drive, a privately owned car and van rental company, faced challenges with an outdated and costly IT infrastructure that relied on aging hardware and a legacy tape backup solution. The company engaged Blue Chip to implement a modern, scalable system to improve stability, enable remote access, and reduce operational costs.

Blue Chip provided a comprehensive Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) solution, hosting new virtual servers in their datacentre and connecting all of U-Drive's sites via a new fibre link. They deployed hosted Citrix XenApp servers for user access, thin client terminals, and the SecureVault cloud backup service. This solution delivered a more stable user experience, significantly decreased operating costs, and provided a flexible, scalable model for future growth, which U-Drive's IT manager noted resulted in huge cost savings.
