Challenges

As the city grew, its legacy storage fell behind in supporting the needs of the local population. Too much time was spent on maintenance and rip-and-replace upgrades, leaving precious little time for innovation. Meanwhile, the threat of ransomware demanded a stronger data protection and recovery strategy.
