Case Study: Upward eliminates multi-site file sharing headaches with Morro Data CloudNAS

Morro Data CloudNAS Relieves a Marketing Agency ' s Multi-Site File Sharing Headaches

Upward, an integrated marketing agency with over 70 employees across seven offices, faced significant challenges with multi-site file sharing and data protection. Their storage needs exceeded 30TB, and their lack of IT expertise led to files being stored on individual laptops and shared via inefficient, manual processes. Prior solutions, including an inherited file server and a QNAP system, were time-consuming to manage and failed to support their multi-office environment. The company needed a permanent solution to enable effective collaboration and protect its business-critical data.

Morro Data implemented its CloudNAS solution, a hybrid cloud file server that provided effortless file sharing and real-time updates across all of Upward's offices. The results were immediate and impactful; the agency now has 50TB of data securely stored and accessible from five locations. The solution eliminated issues with lost files, version conflicts, and slow transfers. For the development team manager, it saved at least 20 hours per month of administrative time, improved overall efficiency, and boosted team morale.
