Customer Challenge: Disruption and Connectivity Concerns

Infra Pipe Solutions Ltd. specializes in producing large-diameter high density polyethylene (HDPE) pipes and structures. These pipes are used for potable water distribution, wastewater management, irrigation systems, and force mains. They also fabricate structures and fittings used in constructing vaults, transitions and tanks where leak-free connections are needed.

In late 2022, Infra Pipe was planning a head office move and to minimize disruption for their 6 offices (3 in Canada, 3 in USA), they decided to migrate to Azure. They wanted to migrate up to 27 on-premises servers and an Azure-based Citrix environment that would require site-to-site connectivity and an additional domain controller in Azure.

The Solution: Migrating to the Azure Cloud

Infra Pipe Solutions migrated to Azure and achieved a seamless move to new headquarters. The project would require site-to-site connectivity to their 6 locations, an Azure based domain controller, Azure Site Recovery, and migration of their existing 27 workloads to Azure, along with configuration of Azure backup. A test migration validated server migration before a full cutover. The migration to Azure was accomplished on schedule, and Infra Pipe proceeded with their head office move according to their plans.

With the new Azure infrastructure, they now have a reliable and scalable infrastructure for their current and future needs. With Azure backup, they can have peace of mind that their business will always have a continuity strategy and be able to support their customers’ HDPE pipe needs for years to come.

The Impact: Created Foundational Infrastructure

ProServeIT used a systematic 3-step approach that included an infrastructure discovery assessment, a carefully planned implementation phase, and managed services to ensure smooth operations once the new platform was in service. In the assessment phase, ProServeIT worked closely with the Infra Pipe team to identify the readiness state of their current infrastructure and how transforming it would help them meet their business goals.

Infra Pipe was able to prioritize their infrastructure investments and create an implementation plan to meet their objectives. Executing the implementation plan built a resilient and reliable infrastructure to support core applications, drive their business forward, and improve business continuity and disaster recovery processes. Once a foundational infrastructure was created in the cloud, proactive environmental monitoring and management will keep Infra Pipe Solutions’ infrastructure platforms current, support improved return on investment, and ensure their security and compliance needs are met as technologies evolve.
