Case Study: Bradley achieves improved application performance and hybrid cloud readiness with Microsoft Azure Stack HCI

Major law firm makes the case for using Windows Server and HCI with Azure for substantial savings

Bradley, a national law firm with more than 1,000 employees, needed stronger security, lower IT costs, and a platform that could support future growth while moving away from traditional SAN infrastructure. To meet those goals, Bradley turned to Microsoft Azure and an Intel Select Solution for Microsoft Azure Stack HCI from DataON.

Microsoft Azure, delivered through DataON’s HCI solution, replaced Bradley’s SAN with a pre-validated hybrid cloud-ready environment using Intel Optane and NVMe storage. The result was significantly faster SQL backups and VDI startup times, improved application response times, and better overall performance, with users noting a clear boost in speed and responsiveness.
