Protego is a company that has been involved with the development of flame arresters, valves and tank accessories for industrial process engineering for more than 50 years. Headquartered in Braunschweig, Germany, Protego has locations across the world including one in Charleston,SC.<!--more-->

The Charleston location employs 16 and manages data both locally and over the WAN with their primary data center in Germany. Protego is currently exploring options to its outdated infrastructure. eGroup was approached and have suggested a hosted solution utilizing our eCloud service.

Currently Protego manages one server with no backups. Their network consists of a wireless router, Netgear Switch, and an aging Cisco Hub. They have no dedicated IT staff and limited knowledge of their environment.

Enter eCloud, a safe, secure, and affordable solution to Protego’s problem. eGroup would replace Protego’s current network with a Cisco Wireless Security Appliance and a Gigabit speed switch onsite and migrate their server and its data into the eCloud. Utilizing the advantages within the cloud Protego would now have access to a robust and highly available virtual server utilizing image level backups supported by eGroup’s engineers on a monthly basis.

Just a few advantages Protego might benefit from utilizing the eCloud include:
• Minimal upfront costs
• Predictable monthly expenses
• No dealing with security vulnerabilities or network uptime

It would seem Protego has an easy choice to make. No hassle “enterprise” technology at a “small business” price.
