Case Study: City Furniture, Inc. achieves hurricane‑resilient, scalable cloud operations with Kyndryl

Finding shelter from the storm with Kyndryl

City Furniture Inc., one of Florida’s leading home furnishings retailers with 29 stores, two distribution centers, an e‑commerce site and 1,800 associates, faced repeated hurricane‑related outages that threatened its business‑critical systems and customer data. To secure operations and gain a scalable managed cloud for its x86 environment, City Furniture engaged Kyndryl for cloud migration services to IBM Cloud.

Kyndryl migrated City Furniture’s hybrid systems to IBM Cloud, relocating servers into four geographically separated data centers and assuming single‑point responsibility for cloud operations including high‑availability disaster recovery, 24/7 monitoring and backups. The move delivered measurable resiliency—protecting retail and online operations from hurricane disruption, providing on‑demand scalable compute during peak periods, and freeing IT to focus on data, analytics and AI innovation.
