Case Study: Kemin achieves greater resilience and uninterrupted operations with LightEdge Solutions

Kemin - Customer Case Study

Kemin Industries, a global ingredient manufacturer, needed to ensure minimal downtime for its complex technological environment, which included both Microsoft servers and IBM AS/400 systems. This challenge demanded a more innovative solution than traditional disaster recovery could provide. LightEdge Solutions was engaged to address their need for high availability and resilience.

LightEdge provided a tailored solution by hosting Kemin's IBM AS/400s in two of its IBM-certified data centers via colocation, while integrating their Microsoft servers into its cloud and Bare Metal offerings. This strategy created a seamless extension of Kemin's IT, resulting in enhanced operational resilience and the uninterrupted performance of critical applications. The partnership allowed Kemin's internal IT team to refocus on more strategic initiatives, fortifying the company's position as a market leader.
