Rapid response to the 2024 CrowdStrike outage

When a faulty CrowdStrike sensor update took Windows endpoints offline worldwide, an industrial equipment manufacturer needed recovery across Microsoft, CrowdStrike and its own fleet in hours, not days.

Challenge

Thousands of endpoints in a boot loop, a vendor incident too large for any single OEM queue, and production lines waiting on IT.

Solution

Xcelocloud Advanced Break Fix engaged Level 4 engineers across the CrowdStrike and Microsoft estates at once, prioritized recovery by plant criticality and tracked every device in XceloHub.

Outcome

Production endpoints restored ahead of the vendor's own guidance, with a documented runbook now used for future vendor-wide incidents.
