What prompted Carhartt to migrate to Azure VMware Solution?
Carhartt's continued growth strained its existing IT infrastructure, leading to several outages each year. The CIO tasked the IT team with evaluating cloud-based alternatives, which began with an upgrade to their SAP environment. After assessing the costs and benefits of a cloud solution versus a hardware refresh, Carhartt decided to migrate the majority of its environment to Azure, finding that Azure VMware Solution offered significant benefits, including cost savings and ease of management.
How has the migration to Azure VMware Solution impacted Carhartt's operations?
Since migrating to Azure VMware Solution, Carhartt has experienced zero downtime and has significantly reduced hardware issues. Routine updates are completed more efficiently in the cloud, allowing for faster deployment and less risk of downtime. This shift has enabled the IT team to focus more on improving processes and supporting the company's rapid growth, rather than managing infrastructure.
What are the benefits of using Horizon Cloud on Microsoft Azure for Carhartt?
Horizon Cloud on Microsoft Azure allows Carhartt to maintain a familiar user experience while enhancing security by mitigating risks associated with malicious activity. It eliminates the need for VPNs, streamlining access for users and freeing up VPN licenses. This transition also expands the use cases for virtual desktops across the business, improving overall IT management and user productivity.
