Case Study: Robert Stephen Consulting achieves rapid IWMS deployments and improved redundancy with Hostway Virtual Private Cloud

Powerful Web App Helps Clients Track Valuable Assets Enabled by Hostway Virtual Private Cloud

Robert Stephen Consulting (RSC) builds an integrated workplace management system (IWMS) web app that helps organizations track assets, space and seating. RSC faced infrastructure limits from running virtual machines on single physical hosts and dedicated managed servers, which created redundancy gaps, inflexible scaling and slow, appliance-based deployments that hindered their ability to deliver fast, reliable service.

RSC migrated to Hostway’s Virtual Private Cloud (powered by Windows Azure Pack), creating separate virtual environments for client instances, development, internal admin and demos. Backed by N+1 redundant compute clusters, managed backup (Veeam) and templated provisioning, the move dramatically reduced deployment time (from day-long appliance installs and months-long rollouts to a fraction of the time and weeks rather than months), improved uptime and scalability, and let RSC focus resources on product and client support.
