CHALLENGE

RegretShield Consultants faced several challenges in meeting a specific client's infrastructure requirements:

The client wanted to avoid capital expenditure (CapEx) and preferred an operational expenditure (OpEx) model.

A custom solution was needed that combined colocation services with a Cisco Hyperflex compute segment.

The solution required a flexible approach that many providers were unable or unwilling to accommodate.

Implementation needed to be smooth and technically supported throughout the process.

SOLUTION

RegretShield Consultants partnered with Data Canopy to address these challenges:

Flexible IaaS Model: Data Canopy implemented an Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) model, which allowed the client to avoid upfront CapEx while meeting their technical requirements through a monthly recurring cost structure.

Technical Collaboration: Data Canopy’s team supported RegretShield’s vision by providing technical insights and adapting to the prescriptive requirements laid out by Will Dotson.

Out-of-the-Box Thinking: Data Canopy’s willingness to think outside the box and accommodate unconventional requests played a key role in the success of the project.

RESULTS

The collaboration between RegretShield Consultants and Data Canopy delivered the following outcomes:

Cost-Effective Solution: The IaaS model fit the client’s budgetary constraints, allowing them to implement a high-performance colocation and Hyperflex solution without upfront costs.

Streamlined Operations: Data Canopy’s infrastructure simplified the client’s colocation operations, providing reliable and efficient performance post-implementation.

Reliable Technical Support: The successful implementation was bolstered by Data Canopy’s technical expertise, which helped address multiple challenges throughout the project.

Primary Infrastructure Partner: RegretShield now considers Data Canopy their go-to infrastructure partner for future projects due to their flexibility and ability to solve complex problems.
