Oil Services Firm Consolidates Servers, Simplifies IT With Branch Optimization Solution

Overview

Expro is a leading provider of oil-and-gas services and products. As the company expanded to 150 offices in 50 countries, its branch servers multiplied. Expro decided to centralize servers but needed to address the challenge of increased traffic on its Wide Area Network (WAN) and the productivity impact on field workers accessing files over the network. Expro decided to replace branch servers with the Windows Server on WAAS (Wide Area Application Services) solution; a Cisco WAN optimization appliance that also runs basic IT services. Expro anticipates consolidating 25 branch servers and streamlining IT operations and costs.
