RST Direct has taken a major step forward in strengthening its IT infrastructure by partnering with Albacore to implement a cutting-edge solution designed to enhance security, compliance, and resilience. This strategic upgrade coincides with RST’s plans for a site relocation, ensuring the company is fully equipped for future growth.
The new solution centres on Albacore Cloud Environment (ACE) and Albacore Cloud Remote (ACR) products, delivering a robust cloud server platform that supports critical applications for customs clearance and accounting software. Document collaboration is now fully integrated within the Microsoft cloud, backed by a comprehensive data protection and backup strategy.
Security remains paramount: all data and applications are accessible only through the private cloud server environment or approved client devices that meet stringent security standards defined by Albacore’s Cloud Protection Premium policy. This guarantees consistent protection for all current and future users.
The project was meticulously planned and executed over several months, including rigorous testing and seamless live migrations to minimize downtime. The result is a fully integrated, watertight IT solution that empowers RST with reliability and scalability.
Rizwan Khan, Director of RST Direct, shared his experience:
“I’ve been an Albacore customer for more than 10 years and have always valued their unlimited support and consultative approach. This 2025 transformation was a significant milestone, and from the initial project outline to ongoing communication, I knew I was in safe hands. Albacore remain my trusted IT partner, bringing unmatched expertise to the freight industry. I’ve already engaged them to equip our new premises with Internet connectivity and look forward to continuing our growth journey together.”
With this successful implementation, RST is poised for a secure and innovative future, reaffirming its commitment to operational excellence and customer trust.
