Case Study: Hydrite Chemical achieves reliable 24x7 blade center operations with Logicalis Managed Services

Logicalis Provides Platinum Managed Services for Hydrite Chemical's Hydrite Blade Center

Hydrite Chemical, a major provider of chemicals and related services, faced a challenge in managing its mission-critical Windows blade center environment. With an IT team primarily experienced in IBM iSeries systems, the company lacked the in-house expertise to ensure 24/7 uptime for its vital applications, where any downtime would result in significant financial loss. They engaged Logicalis to implement a solution.

Logicalis provided its Platinum Managed Services to monitor and maintain Hydrite's entire blade center and storage area network. The solution included 24/7 monitoring, rapid incident resolution, and proactive management, which was proven when a disk failure was handled seamlessly without data loss. The service provided Hydrite with significant peace of mind, eliminated costly downtime, and is estimated to cost a fraction of what building an internal team would require. The successful outcome has led Hydrite to consider expanding its use of Logicalis services for other projects.
