The Challenge

With around 20000+ employees in more than 200 countries, a leading courier service company was facing many challenges with the data storage. Their main challenge was Storage tower of User Data. Due to so many employees, using their individual laptops and desktops there was huge amount of data deduplications, which was difficult to manage.

Another challenge for them was that there was no central Shared Storage system in the organization for collaborative sharing of data, which lead them to make multiple copies of data. There was also no mechanism of backing up user data at one particular place. Another concern for IT department was Manageability of data, since there was no centralized solution for storing user data, employees were taking backs up there on laptops, and security of that data was at stake. They started looking for a complete solution, which give solution to all their pain points and can be easily manageable.
