"This is an outstanding example of the level of detail and clarity for all R3 projects. Well done, and my thanks to the whole team for the progress made on this critical project that appears to be on-track for completion by the end of Feb.”
Summary
The results of R3’s AVD modernization initiative were profound:
- Cost Savings: Our solution generated cost savings of approximately $6,000
per month, offering the client substantial financial relief. - Modernization: The client transitioned from an outdated, end-of-life system to a modern, efficient AVD platform, ensuring they remained competitive.
- Enhanced Security and Visibility: The new system bolstered security measures
and provided invaluable visibility into usage patterns, ensuring data protection and regulatory compliance. - Streamlined Scalability: Onboarding new users and projects became a breeze, allowing the client to adapt quickly to changing needs.
- Reduced Support Effort: With automation in place for app installations and user configuration, support efforts were significantly reduced, freeing up
resources for strategic tasks.
The Situation
In a rapidly evolving industry, these results highlight the pivotal role R3 played in maintaining the client’s operational efficiency and security.
Before partnering with R3, our client was grappling with an antiquated virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) solution, which was nearing its end of life. This legacy system posed a significant threat to the company’s operations, particularly for its 100 users with diverse needs, ranging from regular office tasks to heavy development work. Access for remote workers was unreliable, and critical projects, such as the e-commerce store and public facing services, were plagued with missed deadlines due to the inefficiencies of the existing system.
Additionally, the previous vendor was in the process of deprecating the solution, putting the company in a race against time to migrate to a more robust and reliable solution.
R3SOLUTION
R3 addressed these challenges by deploying a comprehensive Azure-based solution. Our Azure project team worked diligently to build a new environment while the existing one continued to operate seamlessly. Once the migration was complete, we implemented a dynamic scaling strategy, optimizing resource allocation to minimize monthly costs while maximizing performance. This approach automated patch management, significantly reducing the manual effort required.
This transformation was executed in just one month, a remarkable feat considering
the complexities typically associated with such endeavors
R3’s partnership has not only modernized the client’s virtual desktop environment
but has also positioned them for a brighter, more efficient future in the competitive
oil and gas industry
