Case Study: Exterior Wood, Inc. achieves greater uptime and reliability with Polar Systems and PolarStar Managed Services

Exterior Wood saves a couple hundred thousand dollars with Polar Systems

Exterior Wood, Inc., a family-owned supplier of pressure-treated lumber, faced challenges with unreliable and aging IT infrastructure that could not support their growing business. They engaged vendor Polar Systems to develop a strategic technology roadmap, which later evolved into a PolarStar Managed Services relationship to increase system availability and ensure long-term support.

Polar Systems implemented a comprehensive virtualization solution for the customer, including new server hardware, a Tegile SAN, and a Unitrends backup system. This resulted in a highly available and redundant IT infrastructure with minimal server downtime. The project saved Exterior Wood hundreds of thousands of dollars and provided the IT manager with peace of mind, allowing him to plan for retirement. Polar Systems' solution delivered increased stability and predictable IT spending.
