Transported
to the Cloud
L
eading logistics provider Stiller
Warehousing and Distribution has
made the move to the cloud with a
fully-managed solution from award-winning
IT specialists razorblue.
With multiple on-premise servers
reaching end-of-life, Stiller evaluated the
marketplace before deciding to transition
their on-site servers to razorblue’s cloud
platform.
The migration sees Stiller’s data located
within razorblue’s UK datacentres which
eliminates the requirement for upfront
expenditure and provides built-in backup
and disaster recovery.
The razorblue platform enables Stiller to
scale up and down as required to meet their
needs.
The migration took place outside of
Stiller’s core working hours to avoid
disruption and was seamlessly executed by
razorblue engineers on site.
razorblue CEO Dan Kitchen said: “More
businesses are recognising the benefits of
migrating to the cloud, such as availability
and scalability, as well as predictable costs
in an unpredictable economic climate.
“Stiller have much more resilience now
than they did previously with their data
stored on site and have full control of the
solution internally with additional assurance
razorblue drives
logistics firm Stiller’s
digital transformation
that razorblue will provide a fully-managed
support service 24/7.”
Stiller managing director Matthew Stiller
added: “Having worked with razorblue
for the past two years, we are pleased
to extend our partnership across more of
their services.
“Moving to the cloud has alleviated
many of our business challenges, enabling
us to consistently deliver outstanding
service to our customers.
“I was very impressed with the
professionalism of razorblue’s engineers
and their proactive approach to the
project.”
