Metrofile Cloud Case Study

Overview

Metrofile Cloud partnered with RushFiles to meet the growing demand for private file management among SMBs. After one year, the partnership has proven valuable, extending beyond a standard business transaction. The RushFiles team has been helpful, insightful, and always willing to work closely with Metrofile Cloud.

Challenge

In the MSP space, there was a direct need for SMBs requiring a private file management system. Many clients were hesitant to adopt public cloud for their critical information, and the management of the public cloud was also a concern for them.

Action

By introducing RushFiles, Metrofile Cloud added a private file management solution that could be self-hosted, while also providing users with security and simple visibility of their file shares. Metrofile Cloud also adopted the platform internally, which simplified and streamlined the management of their own documents.

Results

The partnership has delivered measurable value both internally and for clients:

  • Cost savings: Clients that moved away from on-site file servers avoided CAPEX renewals ranging from R50,000-R100,000, along with ongoing OPEX costs such as power, management licenses, and protection licenses.
  • Operational efficiency: Metrofile Cloud simplified the management of its own internal documents.
  • Revenue growth: Metrofile Cloud has begun generating new revenue through RushFiles and has set a goal of achieving 100% year-on-year growth from a zero base, maintained through year five.

Testimonial

"RushFiles empowers businesses to securely manage their data, whether migrating from physical on-premise servers or seeking an alternative to consumer-grade cloud storage. The ease of management and overall support from RushFiles has been great - we have never once felt like a customer of theirs, it extends further than this.”
