Hybrid Cloud Case Study
The Issue at Hand in this Hybrid Cloud Case Study
- CCB found it necessary to replace aging infrastructure. The C-Suite wanted to look at the Cloud.
- Strengthen data protection by ensuring proper financial security compliance with international, federal, and local laws, industry standards and advisory regulations.
- Establish a Cybersecurity Policy and Incident Response Plan outlining clear action scenarios for different situations that CBB may find itself in.
Evaluating Their Options
- CCB C-Suite management requested hardware and cloud quotes to financially and technically analyze the vital IT expansion
- IT Expansion Requirements: 13 Servers, 180 Cores, 69 Windows VMs, 1.66TB RAM, 57TB SSD Storage
- C-Suite management was overwhelmed with the cost for the Azure public cloud solution
