Inside of just a few short months, Intrepid USA needed to move every facet of its data center, which included about 120 physical servers, switches, routers and firewalls. “We needed to start investigating outsourcing our data center and really getting a partner that could help us with the things that we really wanted to be excellent at, such as HIPAA compliance and data recovery and redundancy,” said John Nix, Chief Financial Officer at Intrepid USA.
According to Nix, the company set five specific goals for the project:
- Separate its IT structure from its sister company to maintain HIPAA compliance
- Decommission expensive data center space and reduce real estate costs
- Simplify IT operations by partnering with a firm offering deep expertise
- Eliminate the need to purchase expensive IT equipment and chase upgrades and updates
- Add more network redundancy so issues at one facility wouldn’t result in downtime at other facilities
