01. Case Study: Wickaninnish

The Wickaninnish Worked with Think to Increase Datacenter Availability and Capability.

“The project scope was an almost complete replacement of our legacy infrastructure with a dynamic and scalable virtualized infrastructure. From project initiation, to implementation and finally our monthly support, Think has been a pleasure to work with. I am pleased to say I wholeheartedly support and recommend Think Communications”

– Charles MacDiarmid (Managing Director)
