We were in need of replacing some of our physical servers and decided that we should investigate virtual options. Our servers were over utilized and underpowered. It was scary to think about having to rely on our backup solutions at the time. With the help of the Laketec team we were able to set up a VMware environment and segregate our servers into the core functionality that they should have been set up for originally. With the Veeam solution we have a peace of mind that our backups are running properly and the EMC 3200 appliances were a much needed solution for our storage network.

Hartville was in need of a server refresh while staying on the HP platform of choice. We were able to meet that need as well as consolidate 6 physical servers down two tow using the VM Ware software. In addition their needs were many and varied in the area of storage. The EMC and Veeam solution was designed to meet those challenges. In the end the customer is very pleased. They simply cannot lose business, must have 100% reliability and the storage capacity to be able to meet the demands of their external and internal customers. Hartville hardware is constantly evolving and growing. Laketec is there to help chart the course, provide world class products and solutions, and assure the Management team that we are there with them every step of the way.
