Case Study: How PureStack Transformed Pyro Minerals' Internet Infrastructure

Pyro Minerals, a growing industrial business, faced a major bottleneck in its operations due to slow, costly internet service. With a $900 monthly bill for only 20 Mbps upload and download speeds, their connectivity struggles were hindering both productivity and IT support efficiency.

PureStack stepped in to conduct a comprehensive audit of Pyro Minerals' internet setup — and what we uncovered led to a remarkable transformation.

The Problem:

• High Costs: $900/month for 20 Mbps up/down via an AT&T ADI line.

• Slow Speeds: The slow connection hindered daily operations and rendered remote IT support significantly less effective.

• Operational Risk: With critical systems migrating to the cloud (cameras, phones, email, and desktops), any downtime means lost productivity.

The Solution:

1. Infrastructure Audit: We reviewed Pyro Minerals' entire internet infrastructure and discovered an opportunity to switch to a high-speed, cost-effective solution.

2. Upgraded Connection:

   • Replaced the ADI line with a 500 Mbps shared business fiber line from AT&T for $126/month — a massive speed boost.

   • Added a secondary internet line from Comcast (1 Gbps download, 35 Mbps upload) for $218/month to ensure redundancy and failover protection.

3. Failover Configuration: Implemented a dual-ISP configuration on the firewall. If AT&T goes down, the system automatically over switches to Comcast, ensuring uninterrupted connectivity.

4. Cloud-Ready Setup: Since Pyro Minerals was transitioning all critical systems to the cloud — including security cameras, phone systems, email, and workstations — we prioritized faster upload speeds to maintain performance.

The Results:

✅ 61% Cost Reduction: Monthly internet costs dropped from $900 to $346.

✅ 25x Speed Increase: From 20 Mbps to 500 Mbps up/down (with gigabit backup).

✅ Increased Reliability: Seamless failover setup ensures constant connectivity, minimizing downtime.

✅ Improved IT Support Efficiency: Faster speeds reduced support time, issues that used to take an hour now resolve in minutes.
