Learn from a company’s recent experience of moving everything to the cloud with CoreVault.
Case Study Highlights
- U.S.-based company that offers offshore IT, programming, development and design services that require access to a robust data center.
- Building an in-house data center was cost-prohibitive and slow, with too much downtime required for updates.
- Because programmers and service center are in Pakistan, data flow must be continuous, nimble & fast.
- Needed redundancies, immediate ROI, and no equipment headaches.
Allshore Global Resources
Allshore Global Resources offers the best of both the offshore and onshore worlds: clients have access to an affordable, full-time, English-fluent IT expert who is dedicated to their needs, while Oklahoma-based Allshore oversees projects, HR, and all financial and legal aspects. Allshore partnered with CoreVault in 2011.
The Bottom Line
Using CoreVault considerably speeds up Allshore’s growth potential, allowing them to hit the market running and giving them scalability that they can pass onto customers.
Shoring Up with Power and Ease
Key Issues:
Allshore Global Resources is a tech service company that needed a robust data center to meet its growing needs. But physical servers are expensive, clunky, and can be slow. A failure at a physical data center requires hardware, delivery waits, and taking systems offline. Allshore’s business relies on stable, continuous connectivity and immediacy, and because Allshore assures seamless productivity and connectivity between clients in the U.S. and programmers in Pakistan, there is no tolerance for protracted issues, failures or long downtimes. Redundancy must be built into the backup process, without burdening the system.
Covered To The Core
The company chose CoreVault over either a physical data center or virtual service-providers like Amazon because CoreVault allows:
- Immediate ROI: Allshore could hit the ground running, without having to spend $70K-80K upgrading their facility, only to spend it again in 3-5 years replacing equipment.
- "Virtual" Ease: Seamless IaaS/virtual data centers mean no equipment to replace or worry about.
- Scalability and Limitless Growth: If more memory, processing power, bandwidth, etc., is needed, CoreVault provides it immediately.
- Peace of mind: Allshore can spend its energy on clients, not equipment. Everything is backed up by CoreVault.
- Superior Value: The cost efficiency of a virtual service center means customers get double the programming. Though CoreVault wasn’t Allshore’s cheapest option, they undoubtedly provided the most value.
"It's given us peace of mind. Everything is backed up, secure and redundant." – Bryan Rudd, COO, Allshore Global Resources, LLC

Growth Without Limits
Initially, Allshore Global Resources wanted to build its own data center. But that option came bundled with the very real and expensive difficulties of connectivity issues, repairing/maintaining hardware and time-to-build. That would cost them not only significant overhead but also time and energy away from Allshore’s core competency and business development efforts.
After comparing CoreVault to other service providers such as Amazon, Allshore realized that letting CoreVault virtualize their data center would allow near limitless growth and scalability. Not only would they not have to worry about hardware, failures and burning irreplaceable money on building a physical center, they could rest assured that adding storage, servers and capacity would only require five-minutes of downtime as opposed to five-days.
Thanks to CoreVault, as Allshore grows, so will its data capacity. This is a key advantage, one the company can pass along to clients when projects require resources to be increased on the fly.
Global is Local
Allshore is based in Norman, Oklahoma, about 30 minutes from Oklahoma City. U.S.-based personnel are programmers that do requirements analyses for clients, who then set up each client with a dedicated developer in Pakistan. This developer speaks flawless English and is in constant contact with the clients. And the key to maintaining happy clients is constant, reliable connectivity. CoreVault not only keeps Allshore’s data secure and redundant, its VMware technology and IaaS (virtualized data center) create better connectivity than a physical hub. CoreVault puts the whole world just seconds away.
"Overall, it's been a fantastic experience with CoreVault." – Bryan Rudd
