Overview

Founded in 1928, Arrow Stage Lines is a fourth-generation, family-owned motor coach transportation company. With a mission to provide safe, comfortable, and reliable service, the company operates across 12 locations in the U.S.

After nearly a century of family-run excellence, Arrow Stage Lines faced a modern challenge. Outdated infrastructure was slowing operations and risking security in all its branches. Through its parent company Cox Business, RapidScale transformed their IT backbone, unlocking speed, scalability, and peace of mind through its innovative cloud services.

The challenge

Their legacy IT infrastructure was centered around a costly, maintenance-heavy server room in Nebraska, and it was becoming a liability. Power outages and system failures at headquarters disrupted operations nationwide. The need for a scalable, secure, and efficient solution became urgent. Key pain points included:

Entry-level challenges:
  • High maintenance costs for on-premises servers.
  • Nationwide operational disruptions due to localized outages.
  • Limited scalability for new locations and staff.
Internal challenges:
  • Leadership needed to ensure business continuity and security.
  • IT teams were burdened with daily server maintenance.
  • Employees across locations experienced slow system performance.
Performance and security challenges:
  • Operational inefficiencies hindered growth.
  • Cybersecurity risks loomed large, with potential for human error.
  • Infrastructure limitations constrained expansion plans.

The solution

RapidScale implemented a multi-layered cloud and cybersecurity solution tailored to Arrow Stage Lines’ operational needs. The solution included:

  • RapidScale Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), eliminating the need for on-premise servers, reducing maintenance costs and downtime.
  • RapidScale’s managed Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS), combatting outages with redundant architecture and ensures high availability and disaster recovery.
  • Dedicated fiber internet, delivering high-speed, low-latency connections to support real-time operations, managed SD-WAN, optimizing traffic routes and ensuring consistent performance across all branches.
  • Managed Detection and Response (MDR), providing 24/7/365 monitoring and implemented real-time intrusion detection.
  • Scalable onboarding framework, meaning new locations and users could be added easily with cloud-based provisioning and centralized configuration.
  • Automated User Access Controls, with role-based permissions to ensure secure access to resources.
