A supplements distributor modernized its aging IT in 12 weeks, swapping legacy servers/firewalls and costly VMware for Dell PowerEdge, FortiGate NGFWs, Hyper-V, and Veeam.

Results: 30% lower licensing costs, 25% higher uptime, and 100% backup success, plus faster apps, simpler ops, and secure VPN access.
