“We needed to make ourselves more agile, a more effective team. Being an on-premise datacenter was consuming too much time for the team to support and maintain the hardware, because you had to do patching, upgrade devices... It was taking too much time,” Edgar Lun Pum, DirectAsia Infrastructure and Solution Manager
How DirectAsia digitally transformed and optimised IT costs with Insight
Back in 2019, DirectAsia’s IT infrastructure was, in Edgar’s words, ‘too traditional’. “We had about 185 servers – which is a lot for a small setup.” Most of the servers were virtual machines, with around 40 physical servers.
Challenge
Some of the legacy on-premises Windows servers, including Microsoft Exchange 201x servers, were nearing end of life, and there was a complex array of legacy licensing.
Solution
Edgar called on Insight’s services, in what was the start of an ongoing partnership and a critical part of the company’s digital transformation to cloud.
With Insight’s help, DirectAsia deployed resources into Microsoft Azure, using Active Directory on cloud to help eliminate costly server purchases.
Insight helped DirectAsia get Microsoft credits, enabling the company to deploy resources in Azure for the first couple of months to test the water, before diving in fully.
A move to Office 365 including Teams and SharePoint for collaboration andWord, PowerPoint, Excel and OneNote for productivity, quickly followed. The old Microsoft Exchange Servers were decommissioned, and mailboxes moved to Office 365 Outlook.
