In 2020, all BidAir Cargo’s co-hosted servers needed to be redeployed and network infrastructure had to be reconfigured. The outdated backup system that was in place also needed to be replaced, and the company turned to Data Management Professionals South Africa (DMP SA), to deliver a modern, automated and more effective solution.
Client background
BidAir Cargo, a wholly owned subsidiary of the BidVest Group, offers an express cargo airline service from airport to airport to 37 destinations in Southern and Eastern Africa. When the company split off from BidAir Services, which was sold out of the Group in 2020, all BidAir Cargo’s co-hosted servers needed to be redeployed and network infrastructure had to be reconfigured. The outdated backup system that was in place also needed to be replaced, and the company turned to Data Management Professionals South Africa (DMP SA), who recently joined forces with Gabsten Technologies, to deliver a modern, automated and more effective solution.
The solution
After being referred to DMP SA, the teams met to discuss the best solution to meet BidAir Cargo’s requirements, including a complete backup of physical servers, hosts and virtual machines. Ultimately, the decision came down to cost in relation to functionality, and the quoted solution from DMP SA was under budget while meeting every requirement. From beginning discussions to completed implementation took less than two weeks, including migration of all servers into Teraco with three physical host servers and 12 virtual servers, as well as interconnects and third-party integrations.
