Case Study: an intellectual property law firm achieves stability and flexibility with ePlus Storage-as-a-Service

Intellectual Property Law Firm defers 25% of capex with ePlus

An intellectual property law firm faced significant challenges with its aging data center infrastructure, which had not been upgraded in four years and was vulnerable to security threats. With equipment leases ending and no recent disaster recovery testing, the firm needed to modernize its systems while preparing for an uncertain future transition to a SaaS platform. They partnered with ePlus to find a solution.

ePlus implemented its Storage-as-a-Service (STaaS) solution leveraging NetApp Keystone, along with professional services for migration and upgrades. This approach allowed the law firm to defer 25% of its capital expenditure with a flexible monthly billing model. The solution provided 99.999% storage availability, significantly reduced operational burden, and validated their disaster recovery capabilities. ePlus also reduced overall services costs by an estimated 31% through a multi-hop upgrade process.
