CASE STUDY
With a reputation built on trust
since 1990, Coral Homes is one
of the leading home builders
in Australia. Over the past 30 years, Coral
Homes has perfected the process of
creating a dream home utilizing the highest
standards of craft, design and products
available on the market.
In 2018, Coral Homes went to the open
market searching for a new solution
to enable it to modernize its data
management and protection strategies
and associated infrastructure. It was
introduced to StorageCraft by BES
Information Technology.
Together, they sought to understand the
challenges faced by Coral Homes and
assembled a solution and implementation
process to suit its needs.
The challenge
As a growing construction company, Coral
Homes wanted to be confident in the
storage, management and protection of its
data, especially when trying to connect with
home buyers across the country.
The main challenge it faced regarded
the large volume of client data that was
stored off-site, on a private cloud. This had
potential for risks such as security, cost
management, compliance and performance.
Furthermore, it became a challenge when a
staff member lost data. Previously, having
data offsite, it would take team members
longer to retrieve lost data and they would
constantly go back and forth, between staff
and its previous managed service provider.
The solution
Coral Homes went in search for a scale out
storage solution that had the capability to
relocate its data to its rightful place and
restore confidence in its IT team. BES’s
and StorageCraft’s industry experience,
customer service reputations, combined with
the OneXafe solution was a perfect fit for
Coral Homes to tackle its data storage and
protection challenges.
