Case Study: Upward simplifies multi-office file sharing and protects critical design data with Morro Data Global File Services

Upward protects 30 TB of files and simplifies multi-site sharing with Morro Data

Upward, a rapidly growing integrated marketing agency, faced significant challenges with its storage and file-sharing needs across seven offices. With over 70 employees and more than 30 TB of valuable design files stored on individual laptops, the company lacked a formal solution to protect against data loss or enable efficient collaboration on large files. Their inherited Mac fileserver and subsequent QNAP system created manual, time-consuming processes and placed a heavy IT burden on staff. Morro Data Global File Services was identified as the solution to these problems.

Morro Data implemented its Cloud NAS solution to provide a unified and automated storage system across all of the agency's locations. This eliminated the need for manual file transfers and provided a secure, centralized repository for business-critical data. The results were immediate and impactful; Morro Data relieved the multi-site file sharing headaches, protected the agency's valuable assets, and freed the development team manager from spending 10-20 hours per week on IT maintenance, allowing him to return to his primary job duties.
