Challenges

  • The Easa Saleh Al Gurg Group (ESAG) aimed to move away from their traditional on-premise data centre, which had become increasingly expensive to maintain and required significant internal resources.
  • They identified several strategic benefits of migrating to AWS cloud services, including:
    • Enhanced data security and compliance
    • Lower operational and infrastructure costs
    • Greater flexibility to scale resources based on business needs
  • To enable this migration, ESAG needed a secure, high-performance, and dedicated connection to the AWS data centre.
  • The challenge was to establish a network solution that could deliver reliability, speed, and security—all critical for a seamless transition to the cloud.

  • Gain real-time visibility into network traffic and performance through a centralised management interface.
  • Easily scale their network infrastructure, allowing new sites or branches to be added in minutes rather than months—supporting business agility and growth.
