## National Furniture Retailer Strengthens Backup Resilience

 ![Man writing on a glass board covered in colorful sticky notes]()

A national home furnishings company faced mounting risk as their backup hardware and support contracts approached expiration, leaving production backups tied to aging end-of-life infrastructure. Confidence in an existing MSP relationship was deteriorating, creating concerns around long-term support, operational resilience, and ransomware recovery readiness. The client turned to Expedient to build a fully managed on-premises and cloud Backup as a Service (BaaS) solution. The company maintained their Cohesity and Microsoft 365 investments, gained a more flexible consumption model, and positioned their backup environment for future expansion, long-term resilience, and security against ransomware threats.

## Challenges

Aging hardware and expiring software put production backups at risk of running on unsupported end-of-life infrastructure

Status quo meant increased operational and ransomware exposure with no vendor recourse in the event of an incident

IT partner needed to retain Cohesity platform investment in a new environment and adherence to strict CapEx/OpEx model
