Case Study: Freno avoids disaster and keeps operations running with Syntax Enterprise Cloud

Freno Avoids Disaster by Moving IT Operations to the Syntax Enterprise Cloud

Freno, a long-established retailer of automotive parts and repairs for heavy trucks in Quebec, was looking to improve IT operations and lower infrastructure costs as its IBM Power i lease came up for renewal. The company needed a more efficient way to run and protect its core systems, so it turned to Syntax and its Enterprise Cloud for iSDM, along with Remote Managed Services.

Syntax migrated Freno’s IBM Power i to the Syntax Enterprise Cloud, enabling daily backups, stronger data security, and multi-site availability. When a fire destroyed Freno’s on-premises IT and phone wiring, the company avoided major disruption because its systems and data were already in the cloud; according to Freno, the move kept them running at 100% and helped prevent weeks of downtime and a potentially devastating loss.
