WK Marble and Granite get their existing infrastructure upgraded
WK Marble and Granite was experiencing difficulties and delays in the way their desktops would respond to their servers. They had two internet connections that were separated from their two companies and both were slow ADSL connections. One server was running out of space while the other was out of warranty. This was a situation that needed an immediate solution.
Empower IT Solutions stepped in and reconsolidated the networks. Both servers were replaced with a virtualisation solution that allowed efficiency, without hindering the productivity of the company. Empower IT removed their two separate slow ADSL connections and replaced them with a shared corporate internet connection that provided much faster speeds for both companies with the exact same cost.
