Acuutech have been at the forefront of proposing and implementing IT strategy since 2002. Being a Film and Media company Pathé UK needed a very unique IT solution. They understood the advantages of having a Cloud based infrastructure but equally they did not want performance issues with all of their infrastructure and applications being delivered from the Cloud.
Acuutech proposed a Hybrid Cloud infrastructure where applications which needed heavy local processing were served using in-house servers and other line of business applications which used Oracle and SQL databases were delivered from Acuutech’s datacentre.
This addressed multiple concerns, business continuity, telecommuter access from anywhere/anyplace/any device and more importantly the whole solution was based on an op-ex model. Pathé can choose to upgrade their line of business applications, desktop application and email application without worrying about any variable or capital expenditure.
