Laptop Lifecycle Management

By Farmhouse Networking

Client

Premier Community Supports

Project Description

Premier Community Supports had been trying to keep down IT spend by purchasing laptops, docking stations, monitors and other hardware from local big box stores and major online retailers, but was unsatisfied with the build quality of the laptops and their life span. Farmhouse Networking technicians benchmarked the usage of their user base to determine the laptop and docking station specifications needed to maintain productivity. Farmhouse Networking sales team determined the correct models to standardize on and worked with our wholesaler to get the client a discount on bulk purchases. Farmhouse Networking also established a lifecycle management policy to replace the hardware at established intervals to eleviate downtime.

Client needed a relliable backup solution to protect the multiple servers that they use day to day to run their business. They are an online source aircraft and model aircraft parts, so downtime during business hours is not an option - which means they need near instant recovery from a failure. Merging technologies we were able to backup several Terabytes of data to both a local source and into the cloud. Recovery is able to happen via file restores or they can run a virtual copy of the server locally or download it to an offisite datacenter for cloud recovery.
