Ronsberg Tech. Partners, Inc. & Nimble Storage to the rescue

Evangelical book publisher Augsburg Fortress, had a data center flooded with servers. Some were old, some were new. Some were used for active storage, some only for back-up. Monthly fees for expanding storage into the cloud were becoming crippling. The rapidly-expanding company was operating on the verge of being overwhelmed.

When CFO John Rahja sought ways to save money and expand capacity at the same time, Ronsberg Technology Partners, Inc. assembled a project plan and strategy that featured Nimble Storage as the primary appliance, which combines both primary and back-up storage in one box. After deploying the appliance, Augsburg Fortress was able to stop paying monthly fees entirely, save energy, and eliminate maintenance fees on all the old storage equipment. The system also delivered new virtualization functions.

“The motivation was cost, first of all, but we’ve ended up with a more robust and streamlined data center that’s less likely to fail and that has more current technology than our old-style server farm,” Rahja said.
