Case Studies

redPanda Software

Hosting your own data center means you need to keep track of hardware related issues. Software developers, redPanda, moved ahead of the curve by extending its data centre into Azure before hardware needed to be replaced.

Business Problem

Data centre hardware nearing the end of its life resulted in redPanda Software looking at alternative solutions for its replacement.

The Solution

The recommendation made by Crimson Line was to extend their data centre into Microsoft Azure. This meant that when redPanda Software needed to replace the hardware, Azure would be set up already and it would be easy to deploy according to their requirements.

Process

Crimson Line did an assessment of the system requirements to determine total costs to client. On approval of quotations, we prioritized which applications to migrate and when to do so to plan for a phased migration. Crimson Line then empowered redPanda Software to migrate data themselves as they needed to do so.

Lewis Stores

Lewis Stores move to the cloud

When you’re a national retailer with hundreds of stores nationwide, server replacement is a significant capital expenditure. A cloud solution negates the purchase of new hardware while it has many additional benefits any business can benefit from.

Warwick Estate

Enterprise capabilities for a regional wine estate

The food and beverage industry is a fast moving, competitive one. Warwick Estate’s beautiful vineyards, cellars, restaurant and picnic area is part of the Stellenbosch Winelands. They needed a communication and data technology system that would allow for ease of use but using an ISP email solution was making this difficult. The estate’s location outside of Stellenbosch, meant that their options for internet connectivity was limited. But Crimson Line assured them, limited connectivity didn’t need to keep them out of the cloud.
