Migrating a UAE Trading Operation to a Secure Cloud Stack

A regional trading company moved from aging on-prem servers to a managed cloud stack with continuous monitoring, automated backups, and disaster recovery in place.

Client Profile

A UAE-based trading and distribution business with 120+ employees across multiple branches, dependent on legacy on-premise infrastructure for ERP, email, and file storage.

Challenges

Frequent downtime, slow restores, and rising maintenance costs were stalling operations. Branch users struggled with patchy access, and finance close cycles were repeatedly disrupted by hardware failures.

  • Unplanned Downtime – Hardware failures caused 8–12 hours of outage every month across branches.
  • Slow Disaster Recovery – Backups were tape-based with no tested recovery path, putting compliance at risk.
  • High Maintenance Overhead – On-site engineers spent 60% of their time patching and reviving aging servers.
