- Turner Industries is a
heavy industrial contractor
headquartered in Baton Rouge, Louisiana,
and the number one maintenance contractor
and pipe fabricator in the United States.
- We work in an industry that runs 24/7
365 days a year,
and if our IT infrastructure
is not available,
then we can't provide the solutions
to our clients that they require.
- They had a very short period of time
to get between where
we were and their goal,
which was by hurricane season
to be completely migrated and completely
refreshed from a technology perspective.
They went from a very
traditional three-tier
type of infrastructure
and really wanted to go
on more of a converged
infrastructure route.
Something like hyper-converged
made a lot of sense for them,
but it was a big leap
so they really had to transform
not only the infrastructure,
but their understanding
of how to do business and how to manage
that infrastructure so that they
could get the most out of it.
- As we went through this process,
we knew that if it was
going to be transformative
we would have to replace a lot of those
old vendors with new vendors.
- Sirius proved to be a one-stop shop
for our data center needs.
- As part of the project,
we completely transformed our data centers
from a traditional architecture
to a hyper-converged infrastructure
that allows us to continue to expand
as the company continues to grow
and allows us to seamlessly switch
between data centers in case of a disaster
or some other necessity.
- And we were ecstatic at the end
when they delivered ahead of schedule.
- We know now that we've got this
architecture in place,
that if we have to expand
as the company grows,
it is seamless and easy to do so.
