Case Study: Joseph Ash Galvanizing achieves resilient virtualised IT and robust disaster recovery with OGL Computer

Enterprise-grade strategic solution designed for new customer wanting to go virtual

Joseph Ash Galvanizing, a UK leader in steel finishing with 500 employees and eight plants, needed to replace an ageing physical server estate with a resilient, virtualised environment while improving backup, security and remote access. To meet those goals they engaged OGL Computer to design an enterprise-grade, tailored IT refresh rather than a one-size-fits-all solution.

OGL Computer deployed HP DL-series servers running a VMware hypervisor, a local NAS with Veeam backup and Veeam Cloud Connect for off-site replication, a high‑availability firewall, WatchGuard security components, and migrated mail to Microsoft Office 365 alongside CyberGuard services. The implementation delivered faster, more manageable virtualised infrastructure, improved operational efficiency, stronger backup and disaster‑recovery capability, better remote access and enhanced protection of sensitive data—enabling Joseph Ash to move systems more quickly and with greater confidence.
