Challenge: A West Country software firm needed to move hosted web services due to Server 2012 R2 end-of-life and hosting limitations.
Solution: Migrated to Microsoft Azure with AAD integration, SQL hosting via Azure VM, and custom RDS with MFA.
Outcome: Predictable costs through reserved instances and hybrid benefits, fewer servers, and more capacity to grow. The technical team now enjoys secure, reliable access with peace of mind.
Client Quote: "We were using an out of date, expensive platform, where the provider had been bought out twice and the support level had plummeted. We had to find an alternative.
With Azure, the options for compliance with OS and platform specs are clear and easy to deploy. We are much happier about security and compliance now. IT Protocol worked with us to devise the migration plan so it was seamless for the majority of our customers.
The speed and reliability of the end product is vastly improved and allows for seamless expansion. We definitely have better value for money than the managed hosting model we had before."
