Client Description
Wengfu Australia is a leading importer and distributor of fertiliser products in Australia. With a strong focus on quality and customer service, Wengfu Australia has established itself as a trusted partner for businesses across the agribusiness industry. As a growing company, Wengfu Australia recognised the need for a robust IT infrastructure to support its operations and ensure business continuity.
The Challenge
Wengfu Australia faced several challenges with its existing IT infrastructure:
- Aging Server Hardware: The company’s server hardware was nearing end-of-life, increasing the risk of failure and downtime.
- Outdated Backup Solution: The existing Veeam backup solution was due for renewal and had limitations in terms of data retention, recovery speed, and scalability.
- Cost and Licensing Concerns: Veeam’s recent acquisition led to changes in licensing models and increased costs, making it less attractive for Wengfu Australia.
- Business Continuity Risks: The outdated infrastructure and backup solution posed significant risks to business continuity in the event of a hardware failure or disaster.
These challenges highlighted the need for a comprehensive upgrade to Wengfu Australia’s server hardware and backup infrastructure to ensure a reliable, scalable, and cost-effective solution that could support the company’s growth and minimize downtime.
The Solution
To address Wengfu Australia’s IT challenges, Intuitive IT proposed a comprehensive solution that included:
- Server Hardware Upgrade: Intuitive IT replaced the aging server with a new Dell PowerEdge server featuring enhanced performance with SSD storage for virtual machine system drives, maintaining the RAID 10 configuration for speed and redundancy.
- Datto BCDR Platform Implementation: Intuitive IT replaced the outdated Veeam backup solution with the Datto BCDR platform, providing benefits such as increased cloud-based data retention, near-instant server recovery, improved scalability, and a better notification system.
- Seamless Migration and Configuration: Intuitive IT meticulously configured the new BCDR platform and migrated all virtual machines to the new server, ensuring minimal disruption to Wengfu Australia’s operations.
- Decommissioning and Documentation: The old server hardware was securely decommissioned, and all relevant documentation, including infrastructure, backup processes, and disaster recovery procedures, was updated.
This solution aimed to provide Wengfu Australia with a modern, reliable, and scalable IT infrastructure that could support its business growth and minimize downtime.
The Outcome
The implementation of the new server hardware and Datto BCDR platform by Intuitive IT resulted in several positive outcomes for Wengfu Australia:
- Enhanced Performance and Reliability: The upgraded server hardware with SSD storage significantly improved system performance and overall reliability, reducing the risk of downtime and ensuring business continuity.

- Enhanced Monitoring and Notification: The improved notification system of the Datto platform allowed for better monitoring and proactive management of backup processes, ensuring data integrity and peace of mind.
Overall, the successful implementation of the new IT infrastructure and BCDR solution by Intuitive IT empowered Wengfu Australia with a robust, scalable, and cost-effective platform, enabling them to focus on their core business operations with confidence.
