A private equity investment bank, had a sprawling and inconsistent on-premise server environment. Their systems suffered from a lack of standardisation, which introduced security vulnerabilities and operational reliability issues. Their existing third-party backup solution was inadequate, causing performance degradation and limiting their ability to perform flexible database restores or implement high-availability solutions.

The Solution

We initiated a comprehensive, multi-step remediation process focused on security, stability, and operational efficiency. The following steps were taken:

  • Infrastructure audited and hardened.
  • Security audit identified critical issues.
  • Issues methodically resolved to improve security and resilience.
  • Replaced problematic backup with native SQL backups to Azure Blob Storage.
  • Implemented 24/7 monitoring to flag incidents.

The Outcomes

The project delivered significant, measurable benefits, transforming the clients data infrastructure into a reliable and secure foundation for future growth:

  • Improved Security & Reliability: Server environment hardened and optimized, reducing risk.
  • Robust Data Protection: Modern backup and recovery solution implemented.
  • Innovation Partnership: Engagement evolved into a trusted partnership for cloud initiatives and digital transformation.
