The starting point
Before moving to a private cloud, Punt combined on-premise infrastructure with a limited public cloud. It lacked control and close support, and the big providers' costs were high for its clients, mostly SMEs in the Valencia region.
What they needed
César Maz, head of the systems department at Punt, explains that they were looking for flexible, secure infrastructure that was easy to manage, could adapt to each client and could support a diverse mix of Windows and Linux applications.
“Google Cloud was oversized and far too expensive for our clients.”
The solution
With the private cloud, Punt's team adds resources on the fly as demand grows, keeps data in a closed, exclusive environment and guarantees security and full control. Virtualizor centralises server management, Acronis provides reliable backups and WatchGuard supplies dedicated firewalls for clients who need extra protection.
“Companies like Punt value being able to talk to a real person who knows their environment, not an anonymous support ticket.”
The migration from physical servers and public cloud was carried out gradually, with no interruption to their clients' service.

In their words
“I'd present it as a closer, more flexible and more affordable alternative to the big clouds like AWS or Azure.”
