Oper8 Global Enhances Bennett & Bennett’s Data Management with CloudBox

Oper8 customer Bennett & Bennett – a leader in advanced services for major construction, infrastructure, and development projects – was having difficulty managing large renders, photo files, and CAD drawings created by on-site teams.

These files need to be easily accessible and shareable across offices, including at remote locations.

The organization was making use of portable drives to transfer this data, but these were proving inefficient, expensive, difficult to back up, and exposed the firm’s data to damage, loss, or theft.

Adding to the challenge were the company’s backup requirements: significant backup sizes required a cloud-adjacent solution for effective disaster recovery.

Bennett & Bennett required a solution that provided:

• Local storage capabilities
• Centralized management
• Cloud-adjacent backup
• Scalability for multiple locations and users
• At an affordable price

Bennett & Bennett turned to Oper8 Global, who had just the solution that checked all the boxes: CTERA’s Global File System, sold by Oper8 under the “CloudBox” product.

Oper8, after understanding their customer’s unique needs, tailored a solution specifically for Bennett & Bennett, using CTERA‘s platform.

CTERA Edge Filers were deployed at all office locations, removing the need for portable hard drives, and even traditional file servers.

The benefits were immediate, and included:

• A 50% reduction in Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)
• Increased performance
• A familiar experience for employees
• No risk of the data loss that was associated with portable storage solutions
• Support for Windows and Mac
• Seamless integration with apps available on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store
• A consistent and user-friendly experience across devices
