Hybrid cloud environment enables life-saving, global work on a limited IT budget.

In Brief


  • Measurable ROI in just months
  • Cloud adoption wiped out significant capital expenditures, including remote server and tape system upgrades, backup systems, bandwidth increases, and IT headcount 
  • Avoided the costly alternative, including; adding IT headcount, purchasing backup systems for 15 field offices, and upgrading the legacy tape system
  • 17 TB dataset reduced to less than 3 TB for cloud storage
  • Safer off-site data storage and faster restores

Summary


IJM does critical, life-saving work on a limited budget. Any money that IT can save goes directly toward the organization’s mission of rescuing victims of abuse and prosecuting their perpetrators. By replacing a distributed IT infrastructure and tape backup system with a hybrid cloud approach, IJM created a cost-effective, streamlined working environment that better meets the needs of the organization.

IJM’s private cloud, supported by Steelhead appliances in every field office, allowed the IT team to centralize applications such as Microsoft Exchange and SharePoint. The performance of these applications over the WAN is satisfactory to remote users, even those in places where bandwidth and latency formerly caused problems. IJM replaced its tape backup system with a Whitewater cloud storage accelerator and public cloud data storage, avoiding the labor and other costs of the tape system. More importantly, critical data is now more secure.
