THE KEY RESULT
10+ Servers Migrated. On-Premises Infrastructure Eliminated.
Shaddock Homes moved more than 10 servers and critical business workloads to vArida Cloud, eliminating its dependency on physical on-premises infrastructure while improving performance, scalability, and business continuity.
01 — The Challenge
Shaddock Homes was operating on traditional on-premises infrastructure that limited scalability, increased operational overhead, and created an ongoing dependency on physical hardware.
As the business continued to grow, leadership recognized the need for a modern, flexible IT environment capable of improving performance, strengthening security, and reducing the burden of maintaining onsite systems.
The legacy environment presented several challenges:
Limited Scalability
Physical infrastructure made it more difficult to efficiently accommodate business growth and changing application requirements.
Ongoing Hardware Costs & Risks
Maintaining and refreshing physical servers created recurring costs and additional operational risk.
Limited Flexibility
The existing environment wasn’t designed around the remote access and modern workload requirements of a growing organization.
Increasing IT Complexity
Managing multiple systems, including critical database environments, placed additional demands on internal resources.
Shaddock Homes needed a more resilient and secure platform capable of supporting core business operations and long-term growth.
02 — The Viyu Solution
Viyu designed and implemented a comprehensive cloud migration strategy using the vArida Cloud Services platform.
10+ Server Migration
Viyu virtualized and migrated more than 10 on-premises servers into the vArida Cloud environment.
Remote Desktop Services
A dedicated hosting environment was designed and deployed for Remote Desktop Services, including multiple instances to improve user performance and scalability.
Critical Application Migration
Viyu migrated critical business applications and workloads while minimizing disruption to users and daily operations.
Security, Backup & Disaster Recovery
The new environment includes enterprise-grade security, backup, disaster recovery, and redundancy capabilities to strengthen business continuity.
Elimination of On-Premises Infrastructure
Moving workloads to vArida allowed Shaddock Homes to eliminate its dependency on physical on-premises infrastructure and the ongoing hardware investments associated with it.
Carefully Planned Transition
The migration was planned and executed around business continuity, helping ensure a seamless transition for end users with minimal downtime.
03 — The Results
On-Premises Infrastructure Eliminated
Shaddock Homes no longer needs to maintain the migrated physical server infrastructure or plan for future hardware investments associated with it.
Improved Performance & User Experience
The new environment improved performance, particularly within Remote Desktop Services.
Greater Scalability
Cloud infrastructure gives Shaddock Homes greater flexibility to expand its environment alongside the business.
Stronger Security & Business Continuity
Built-in redundancy and protection provide a more resilient foundation for critical systems and data.
