DTSTW Data Storage Corporation

Data Storage Corporation (Nasdaq: DTST) (“DSC” and the “Company”), a leading provider of multi-cloud hosting, managed cloud services, disaster recovery, cybersecurity, and IT automation, that integrates with AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud, today announced that its CloudFirst subsidiary has successfully completed a major on-premise infrastructure upgrade for a leading food distributor and long-time enterprise customer, reinforcing its position as a trusted partner for complex IT transformations.

The migration involved moving the customer to the latest processors with significantly higher performance, reliability, and scalability to support the demands of enterprise-scale operations. This upgrade delivers scalability and efficiency while ensuring seamless integration with leading cloud providers, including AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud to enhance and optimize their multi-cloud environment.

The project was very complex due to the customer’s older OS, reliance on older processors, and they faced growing operational challenges, including system performance limitations, capacity constraints, and increasing IT costs. CloudFirst conducted a comprehensive assessment and determined that moving them to its most advanced processing environment would eliminate bottlenecks, provide the scalability needed for future growth, and enhance backup and disaster recovery capabilities.

By leveraging its deep experience with IBM power systems and working closely with the customer’s IT team, CloudFirst executed the transition with minimal disruption, ensuring continuous business operations. The upgrade also enables the customer to leverage CloudFirst’s deep integration with hyperscale cloud providers, allowing for greater flexibility, workload optimization, and long-term cost efficiencies.

Chuck Piluso, CEO of Data Storage Corporation, commented, “CloudFirst has a precision approach and commitment to excellence allowing them to continue to earn the trust of enterprise customers who are navigating complex IT. This project highlights our expertise in delivering strategic solutions that seamlessly integrate with hyperscale environments, ensuring reliability, security, and scalability.”
