Situation: Too many servers, too many roadblocks
A global safety equipment manufacturer was struggling to manage file access across a growing network of offices and distribution centers. With localized Windows servers in the U.S., UK, and Asia, employees faced latency, security risks, and clunky workarounds like VPNs. Teams were frustrated by slow access, siloed content, and a lack of flexibility when traveling or working remotely.
“People were saying, ‘I’m tired of the network drives. I want to access my data when I want, without a VPN.’”
Solution: One cloud, one source of truth
Working with Network Coverage, the client consolidated its data into a single cloud-based environment using Egnyte. This move replaced multiple file servers with one centralized, secure, and easily accessible system. The solution offered:
-
Fast access to large files like AutoCAD and SolidWorks
-
Version control and rapid file recovery
-
Offline syncing for sales reps on the road
-
Seamless integration into users' workflows via mapped drives
Throughout the migration, both Egnyte and Network Coverage delivered responsive support and ensured minimal disruption.
Results: Global access, local performance
The client’s global workforce now accesses files instantly, without latency, no matter the device or location. The centralized system strengthened security, streamlined collaboration, and enabled the Sales team to deliver content quickly and securely.
“We’ve centralized all our information in the cloud, where it’s available, protected, and has all the necessary compliance.”
Today, every new hire gets an Egnyte account from day one — a sign of a unified, future-ready approach to file management.
