New data centre provision for a provider of business continuity services

Posted on in

The client

Established in 1994, our client has forged a robust reputation for delivering rapid, reliable, and repeatable business recovery solutions. Specialising in ensuring business continuity for companies in both the public and private sectors, their portfolio includes IT disaster recovery, business continuity, replication and back-up solutions, as well as consultancy, ship-to-site, mobile recovery, and office recovery suites.

In response to evolving technology and increasing client demands, our client expanded its offerings to include fully managed IT and cloud solutions. This strategic move necessitated a new approach to data centre provision, one that would ensure security, resilience, and connectivity to support their assured delivery to clients.

The challenge

The introduction of fully managed IT and cloud solutions by our client required an additional data centre capable of providing:

  • high-level security;
  • unmatched resilience;
  • robust connectivity.

These specifications were essential to reliably support the company’s new range of services.

The solution

After thorough consideration, our client selected our flagship carrier and cloud-neutral facility (FRn1) located at the government-grade secure Cody Technology Park in Farnborough. Our facility was chosen due to its combination of:

  • Security: government-grade secure location.
  • Resilience: robust infrastructure ensuring uninterrupted service.
  • Connectivity: carrier and cloud neutrality providing flexible connectivity options.
  • Service management: enterprise-class management ensuring high standards of service.
  • Uptime: SLA based on 100% uptime commitment.

Implementation

During negotiations, it became clear that we offered not just a facility, but a partnership. This collaboration would be instrumental in supporting our client as they developed their new solutions.

“Good partnerships are based on the strength of the working relationship that is established. Some of the key reasons that we contract with Datum are that we have found Datum to be flexible, supportive, and easy to deal with. Such attributes are not that easy to find but are key to a successful, long-term partnership.”

Results

Our facility not only met but exceeded the stringent requirements of our client:

  • Enhanced security and resilience: both in communications and power, housed in an environmentally efficient facility.
  • Capacity and stability for growth: our infrastructure supports our client’s future growth ambitions without compromising service delivery.
  • Successful partnership: our collaborative approach has been crucial to the ongoing success and adaptability of our client’s new solutions.

Our collaboration has enabled our client to successfully expand their service offerings to include fully managed IT and cloud solutions. Our secure, resilient, and well-connected data centre provision has been key in ensuring that the company can deliver assured and reliable services to their clients, supporting their mission to provide rapid, reliable, and repeatable business recovery solutions.
