INOAC Industries Thailand's Pain-Points
INOAC Industries Thailand reported some performance issues with its older system. The company was previously using an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), file-sharing, and robotic system.
The company also began looking toward finding a cloud service provider as the costs of building a data center would be too high. Investing capital in that would have been too much of an expense for their budget.
INOAC also needed a platform that could integrate both hyper-converged infrastructure and disaster recovery. This would help this company immensely in terms of easier management.
Sangfor’s Solution
INOAC Industries Thailand consulted with Pakcha House as a Hyper-Converged Infrastructure expert group and began using Sangfor’s Hyper-Converged Infrastructure to enhance its IT posture. The platform immediately improved the company’s performance – pushing efficiency levels higher than the previous system would allow.
The company moved some of its applications to Pakcha Cloud Services which makes use of Sangfor’s Managed Cloud Services platform. This was an ideal move for the company as it boosted the IT infrastructure’s performance while still being easy to manage.
The Recovery Point Objective (RPO) and Recovery Time Objective (RTO) were initially set with a target of 4 hours, however, with the use of Sangfor’s Managed Cloud Services, they reached the target in just 2 hours.
The leading provider of versatile and efficient foam products was highly pleased with Sangfor’s products. Jaturong Utamakul, the IT manager for INOAC Industries Thailand, has attested that the Sangfor platforms in place have already improved performance by 40% in comparison to the company’s old system.
