Case study - Server and network upgrade

THE SITUATION

Client’s network was at breaking point, with no link between sites, staff were unproductive and support was a never-ending task of fire fighting.
With the existing version of Windows at the end of its product life cycle, and a demand for more productive methods of working required, Wavehill provided an entire WAN and systems upgrade.

 

THE SOLUTION
VPN was created between sites enabling users to share data.
All Servers were replaced with the latest Windows Server enabling the client to take advantage of new technologies such as Shadow Copy for users to view older versions of files. Windows WSUS Server was set-up to automatically deploy Windows Updates to client PC’s.

The email servers were upgraded and data migrated to the latest Microsoft Exchange. All Servers were linked as one organisation. One global Active Directory was created for the entire organisation, which shares all employees’ information and provides a central point of enterprise administration.

Wavehill standardised all user PCs with Windows, and utilised Group Policy to manage security. A corporate Anti Virus solution was implemented across the WAN.

THE RESULT

Clients systems are stable and productivity is high. IT Support incidents were reduced by more than half. Systems are secure and the client has the latest technology to take them forward. The network costs are now reduced, fixed and manageable.
