THE KEY RESULT
80+ Locations Connected on a Scalable IT Foundation
Viyu designed, implemented, and supported a Meraki SD-WAN and vArida Cloud solution supporting more than 1,000 users across Artisan Design Group’s nationwide footprint.
01 — The Challenge
Artisan Design Group (ADG) is a nationwide provider of design, procurement, and installation services for interior finishes, including flooring, cabinets, and countertops.
As the company grew, its aging on-premise technology infrastructure made it difficult for RFMS to communicate effectively across locations. At the same time, an active merger and acquisition strategy was bringing a large influx of additional locations into the organization.
ADG needed an infrastructure strategy that could unify locations, improve connectivity, and scale alongside the business.
02 — The Viyu Solution
Viyu designed, implemented, and supported a cloud and network solution built for ADG’s growing nationwide environment.
Enterprise SD-WAN
Viyu implemented a full Cisco Meraki SD-WAN environment to simplify connectivity across more than 80 locations.
Network & Wireless Infrastructure
Meraki access points and Layer 3 access switches were deployed at each site to provide reliable wireless connectivity and Layer 7 reporting.
Scalable vArida Cloud
Viyu built a vArida Cloud environment capable of supporting multi-location RDS sessions using more than 1,000 vCPUs, 3.6 TB of RAM, and more than 140 TB of storage, including backups.
Ongoing Support
Viyu continues to provide core platform patching and maintenance, technical support, and restore activity.
