Data Center Migration and Disaster Recovery Case Study

This case study details the collaboration between a multinational law firm and Insight Direct USA, focusing on the firm's transition from on-premises data centers to a cloud-based disaster recovery solution. The law firm, established in the 19th century, faced significant business risks due to aging infrastructure and a recent security incident. To address these challenges, the firm aimed to optimize its data centers and leverage cloud capabilities. Insight provided a comprehensive suite of services, including environment discovery, application dependency mapping, and disaster recovery design in Microsoft Azure. The migration strategy emphasized near-zero downtime to protect client-facing applications, which are critical to revenue. Utilizing the SnapStart engine for data collection, the firm achieved significant time and cost savings. The project aims to enhance the firm's IT environment, ensuring better data protection and business continuity while allowing the firm to focus on delivering quality legal services.
