Migrating 4,500+ Seats from Google Workspace to Self-Hosted Nextcloud Enterprise
The Challenge
A fast-growing freight network was facing exponential per-seat SaaS license escalation on Google Drive, alongside strict European data sovereignty mandates forbidding storage of customs manifests on US-controlled public cloud regions.
The Engineering Solution
Engineered a high-availability Nextcloud cluster on dedicated bare-metal servers backed by MinIO S3 object storage, Redis cluster caching, and OnlyOffice real-time document collaboration with SAML SSO.
“Rakebig eliminated our staggering monthly SaaS bill and gave us total ownership over our files. The performance is faster than Google Drive ever was.”
