Case study: LLP Law Firm - Datacentre Exit and Migration to Azure

Our customer was an award-winning LLP legal firm with over 150 + employees UK-wide. The organisation was utilising an on-premises co-lo datacentre for their IT infrastructure.

Requirements

The customer had explored alternatives for their existing on-premises requirement. They opted for Microsoft Azure to place their IT workloads and partnered with Ultima to enable the migration.

Their requirements included:

• Lower TCO long term
• Run on latest generation hardware
• Time to market – greater capacity could be easily accessible

Key technologies

The previous datacentre utilised VMWare virtualisation and was updated to natively use Microsoft Azure.

Outcomes

The partnership delivered several outcomes:

• A reduction in on-premises footprint
• Reduced Capex Costs
• Latest Hardware
• Increased available capacity to burst into at will
