One of the largest specialty food store chains in the U.S. operates 23 stores spread across seven states. The stores farthest from company headquarters are at least an eight hour drive away. Without IT people at the stores, the distance makes it challenging to assure availability for the business-critical applications and ordering systems running at each location.
