Lightstream Implements New Cloud Environment for Interior Design Manufacturer

Impacted by the global construction slowdown due to the global Covid-19 pandemic, this interior design manufacturer’s IT manager was concerned that aging hardware could lead to equipment failures and even tighter cash flow. This company’s business applications that ran on Windows Server 2008 R2 servers had reached the end of life and were no longer supported by Microsoft.

Business Challenge

  • Migrate to the cloud to avoid a large capital outlay for new hardware
  •  Upgrade supported operating system
  •  Reduce operational expenses
  • Provide ongoing Azure optimization and management

Solution

  • Linked the company’s VMware environment to the Azure migration to evaluate the feasibility of    moving it to Azure
  • Planned, configured, and tested their Azure environment
  • Migrated core applications from on-premise servers into the new environment
  •  Provide ongoing Azure optimization and management

Business Outcomes

  • A successful migration of all core applications from on-premise servers into the new environment
  • A shift to a predictable consumption-based operating model, eliminating any future significant capital outlays
  • Better positioned for future IT modernization such as virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI)
  • Lightstream Cloud Managed Services ensures servers are patched and maintained and optimizes the company’s Azure environment both for cost and performance
