Challenge 

Noble Plus was facing several challenges in its IT infrastructure. Here are some of them:  

  1. Single Point of Failure: Noble Plus was heavily reliant on a single on-premise server for both its online and offline business operations. This single server created a significant vulnerability, as any downtime could disrupt the entire business.
  2. Server Downtime: The server was prone to outages, mainly due to power supply issues and excessive server load. These downtimes had severe consequences for their business operations.
  3. Poorly Built Online Application: Noble Plus had an online application that was inefficiently designed, leading to slow performance, and failing to meet the needs of its users.
  4. Scalability and Security issues

To address the multifaceted challenges faced by Noble Plus, Cloud 9 Infosystems delivered a robust suite of managed IT services, effectively streamlining their IT infrastructure. By partnering with Cloud 9, Noble Plus experienced significant benefits across various critical areas:
