The Challenge

Concerns over the reliability and availability of critical technology solutions when hosted on-premises

Vibe SMG, a boutique technology agency specializing in delivering engaging user experiences and highly personalized service, faced the challenge of finding a technology solution that matched their nimble and adaptable nature. Their traditional on-premises and hosted servers were becoming increasingly unsuitable for their growth and ability to respond quickly to client needs. Vibe SMG needed a cloud platform that could meet compliance and performance requirements while enabling them to provision services rapidly and meet tight deadlines—something their previous hosting provider could not deliver.

"Working with the team at 360 Visibility was a painless experience. They quickly migrated our existing services to the Azure Cloud and ensured we were set up for success. Now we can easily manage our database for a reduced cost!"

The Solution

Fully embracing the Microsoft Azure Cloud Platform

To address this challenge, Vibe SMG partnered with 360 Visibility, leveraging their expertise as Microsoft Azure Cloud Implementation consultants. 360 Visibility proposed a phased cloud migration to Microsoft Azure, focusing on offloading various modules to the cloud in a strategic manner. The migration plan included deploying Azure Virtual Machines, Azure SQL Database, Azure Web Services, Azure Redis Cache, Azure Network Security Groups, Azure VPN Gateway, and Azure Backup and Disaster Recovery.

The transition to the Microsoft Azure Cloud provided Vibe SMG with the flexibility and scalability they needed. The Azure Cloud Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) allowed them to provision services instantly, optimize performance, and significantly reduce operating costs. The migration also eliminated the administrative overhead associated with maintaining on-premises hardware, enabling Vibe SMG to focus on delivering high-quality services to their clients.
