Case Study: Brownes Dairy achieves reliable, scalable production network with Vocus

Brownes Dairy eliminates outages and cuts IT overhead with Vocus

Brownes Dairy, a major dairy business, faced a significant challenge when a sudden change in ownership required them to quickly migrate their entire IT infrastructure off systems run from New Zealand. They needed to build a new, highly reliable and scalable network from the ground up while ensuring zero disruption to their critical operations, including factory automation and milk production. Brownes engaged Vocus to provide a solution that would decrease IT overhead and share operations risk.

Vocus implemented a fully virtualized IT infrastructure for Brownes, supported by a VCE VBlock converged infrastructure and hosted in Vocus data centres. The solution included diverse fibre links, a hosted telephony system, and virtual desktop access. The results were immediate, with no unplanned outages since implementation, a significant reduction in IT operating costs, and seamless integration of new acquisitions. This allowed the IT team to focus on strategic goals, confident in the network's reliability.
