Case Study: Crider Foods modernizes its data center with Connection Inc.

How Crider Foods Designed an Infrastructure for Tomorrow

Crider Foods, a large food processor with 900 employees, faced significant challenges with its outdated IT infrastructure, including limited space and inefficient data backups. The company worked with vendor Connection Inc to modernize its data center, seeking a solution that would provide greater manageability and security while controlling costs. They transitioned from aging physical servers to a new virtualized environment.

Connection Inc implemented a solution using Cisco UCS servers with Intel Xeon processors, which provided high performance, expandability, and strong networking capabilities. This new infrastructure reduced Crider's purchasing costs by 70% compared to traditional options and was implemented by Connection's professional services team in just two weeks. The vendor provided ongoing support, enabling Crider to efficiently manage their new virtual desktops and servers, resulting in a highly successful overhaul of their data center.
