Why CentreStack is the Bridge between Traditional File Servers and Modern Cloud Mobility

By -

Introduction

The cloud revolution is a mixed bag for Managed Service Providers (MSPs) and their clients. On the one hand, cloud services offer incredible flexibility and scalability. On the other hand, the transition from traditional file servers to the cloud is often fraught with challenges. If you're struggling with how to provide a seamless migration experience for your clients, CentreStack's innovative solution could be just the answer you're looking for.

The Challenge: Navigating the Complexities of File Server Migration

The current landscape of cloud services often leaves MSPs and their clients stressed and dissatisfied. Traditional migration options like OneDrive and SharePoint aren't only costly, but also incredibly complex, especially when the volume of data is significant. Add aging hardware and compliance issues into the mix, and the migration project quickly becomes a jigsaw puzzle of mismatched pieces.

The Solution: CentreStack's Revolutionary Approach

CentreStack takes a different approach. Instead of uprooting your entire file server infrastructure, our platform lets you attach a modern cloud mobility front end into your existing file servers. Not only does this preserve your original hardware investment, but your clients also benefit from cloud-like flexibility without migratory headaches.

A Real-World Example: Smooth Transitions and Happy Clients

Imagine you're an MSP responsible for migrating a large-scale file server for a client who also needs to adhere to strict compliance policies. Traditional migration options seem daunting. However, a pilot program with CentreStack changes the game. You can give your clients the best of both worlds — a modern, cloud-based front end and the peace of mind that their existing infrastructure will remain intact. And the result? A new recurring revenue stream for you and a modernized file server architecture for your client.

CentreStack’s Value Proposition: A Win-Win Scenario

CentreStack offers a unique opportunity for MSPs. By moving your clients' aging file servers into your own data centers and fronting them with CentreStack solutions, you provide a double benefit:

  1. Businesses shift to a more appealing operational expenditure model.
  2. Businesses gain easy and secure access to internal files.

This creates a natural alignment between your MSP services and CentreStack's capabilities, so you can deliver your clients a compelling, cloud-like experience.

Conclusion: The Future of File Server Migration is Here

Migrating to the cloud doesn’t have to be a headache-inducing experience for MSPs and their clients. CentreStack’s innovative solution provides a seamless, cost-effective, and straightforward path to modernizing file server infrastructures. With CentreStack, everyone wins.
