Penntech transitioned to a cloud-first infrastructure model, significantly improving scalability, performance and costs.
Fathom Consulting relied on an on-premise server infrastructure that no longer met its growing business’s performance and scalability needs.
Key applications such as Sage, eViews, and file-sharing services were becoming increasingly difficult to manage and maintain.
The existing servers presented reliability, speed, and secure remote access challenges.
As a result, Fathom Consulting needed a strategic overhaul: either upgrade their outdated on-premise hardware or move to a more flexible, scalable, cloud-based environment that would streamline workflow and maintenance.
After evaluating the options, Fathom Consulting proceeded with a cloud migration strategy. The approach included:
The transition to a cloud-first infrastructure significantly improved scalability, performance, and cost-effectiveness.
By centralising data and applications in the cloud, Fathom Consulting gained greater operational flexibility and simplified user management.
Collaboration and remote work were streamlined through SharePoint Online and AzureAD-driven authentication.
The modernised setup also reduced system downtime, improved data security, and enhanced disaster recovery capabilities.
As a result, Fathom Consulting now operates a more agile, efficient, and future-ready IT environment aligned with their evolving business requirements.
Fathom is a world-leading consultancy specialising in the global economy, geopolitics and financial markets.
MECM Segregation of multiple networks with VLAN
Penntech established two MECM servers to ensure localised management, redundancy, and improved load distribution.
Segregation of multiple networks with VLAN
Penntech completed a full network audit of the current setup to build a full picture of the infrastructure.
A virtualised network was created on the existing hardware across the access, distribution and core switches.
MECM Health Review and App Deployment
Penntech carried out a health review of the Trust’s MCEM platform to ensure optimal functionality and security.
Penntech proactively advised that the ageing hardware and operating systems were not scalable or aligned with their business growth strategy. They required an infrastructure that was secure, robust, fit for purpose and scalable.
