Case Study: Houston Wire & Cable achieves business continuity and 30% lower costs with SoftwareONE’s Azure VMware and Veeam BCDR solution

Using cutting-edge cloud technology HWC ensures business continuity and reduces costs by 30 percent

Houston Wire & Cable, a U.S. wire and cable distributor, needed a stronger IT foundation to support business continuity and disaster recovery. With no effective BCDR capability in place, the company turned to SoftwareONE to help modernize its data center and build a cloud-based recovery strategy using Azure VMware Solution (AVS) and Veeam.

SoftwareONE designed and implemented the Azure landing zone, networking, and Veeam-based BCDR solution on Azure, enabling near-instant failover and recovery. The result was uninterrupted operations during a severe snowstorm, zero data loss, and a 30% reduction in costs, while also improving scalability, recovery speed, and long-term flexibility for Houston Wire & Cable.
