Off Xneelo onto a colocated platform that runs 20× faster

A partner since 2016, WiZe Books grew into a leading South African higher-education academic-materials provider. Fire-IT moved them off Xneelo onto purpose-built hardware in our colocation facility, connected their branches on a secure network, hardened their Microsoft 365, and delivered a twentyfold performance gain.

Partner since

2016

On one secure network

3 branches

The challenge

Servers sat with a third-party provider (Xneelo), capping performance, control and room to scale.
Three branches and complex client integrations needed a properly designed, secure network.
Growth into higher-education delivery left no room for unreliable systems.

What we did

Moved them off Xneelo onto purpose-built hardware in our colocation facility, sized for their workload.
Connected all three branches on a least-privilege network and integrated them with major JSE-listed clients, including solving an overlapping-IP integration another provider had called impossible.
Hardened the security of their existing Microsoft 365 environment.

The results

Performance improved twentyfold; the infrastructure has been rock-solid.
Three branches running on one secure, least-privilege network.
An eight-year-plus partnership, scaled to a leading SA higher-education materials provider.

“An invaluable partner I cannot go without. They recommend the best-fitting solution for our growth, not whatever makes them more money, and our performance improved twentyfold.”
