The Challenge

KEMET’s existing infrastructure had difficulty keeping pace with its worldwide manufacturing requirements and the growing demands of its customers. To ensure SLAs and QoS levels were met and they could expand when needed, KEMET decided that only a cloud strategy would do. To ensure there were no disruptions, their transition to the cloud had to be gradual, and cybersecurity needed to be contiguous and better than before. Costs needed to be contained, predictable, and eventually reduced. Kemet knew they needed an experienced partner to help with their transformation.
