OUR CLOUD SERVICESRedcentric helps you choose the right cloud options for your organisation and guides you through your whole cloud transformation process. We deliver a total cloud service – private cloud into our own UK data centres, public cloud connectivity into hyper-scale environments including AWS and Microsoft Azure, and we offer a range of hybrid options in between. Plus we provide connectivity for N3/HSCN and PSN into public cloud.
Moving to the cloud can be complex, however our team of experts bring clarity, certainty and assurance to any cloud journey, helping clients make the right cloud moves at the right time and in the right way.
“Our methodology centres on a very granular discovery, planning, delivery, management and evaluation approach and what sets us apart is we’ve been working this from all angles.
We are hugely experienced at the technicalities around transition; and our early engagement with the likes of Microsoft and AWS means we have skills and deep understanding of how we best leverage public cloud as part of a broader hybrid cloud strategy”.

CHALLENGES TO IT: Required a complex
640 acre high speed wireless LAN implementing on a live educational environment,
avoiding disruption for students.
OUTCOME: “To bring in a complex project
with minimal disruption to business output, on-time and under budget speaks
volumes for the dedication and professionalism of all involved.”
CHALLENGES TO IT: Constantly expanding data volumes, being
reliant on untrustworthy and time consuming traditional
tape backups.
OUTCOME: “What we found really
encouraging was the genuine prospect of significant
performance improvement with cost reduction – that was exactly the ‘double whammy’
the company was looking to us as a team to achieve.”
CASE STUDIES
12
CHALLENGES TO IT: Low performance
coupled with a slow, unreliable network.
No centralisation with 25 separate firewalls.
OUTCOME: “Performance and reliability is much better, and with SLAs in place, it gives us a great deal of confidence in the network
performance as a whole.”
CHALLENGES TO IT: End of life telephone
system spread over multiple disparate PBXs. Unable to
provide centralised services to the business.
OUTCOME: “The managed service from Redcentric has allowed us to
deliver the latest technologies, without employing specialist
skills or increasing headcount.”

CASE STUDIES
CHALLENGES TO IT: Need for a supplier to support their agile and efficient service
ensuring system availability 24/7, a consistent voice platform across the company, and have a cast-iron disaster recovery strategy in place.
OUTCOME: “Redcentric has fully supported
our aggressive timeframe for efficiency and growth – it’s played
a key part in helping us open thirty new depots a year on time and to budget, and we expect
to make significant cost savings over the five year contract by
using its services.”
CHALLENGES TO IT: Out-dated legacy network.
Required a resilient and rapid replacement, agile and scalable
enough to run multiple VPN connections whilst also supporting
video conferencing.
OUTCOME: “With its highly resilient private MPLS network offering 64 times
better bandwidth and a 50% reduction in cost compared with the existing BT solution, it didn’t take long to convince the Board
that Redcentric’s was the right solution!”
14
CHALLENGES TO IT: Needed to forge a relationship with a supplier who understood
the needs of their business, and who could provide a rapid, scalable network to underpin
time-critical operations.
OUTCOME: “The Redcentric account team very quickly switched onto the
drivers and dynamics of our business. Their prompt, proactive
professionalism has been a hallmark of our relationship
to date.”
CHALLENGES TO IT: Ageing legacy network,
lack of flexibility and integration issues.
OUTCOME: “Redcentric made this as pain-free a process
as possible. We are now getting a very stable and fast networking provision,
medical staff can contact each other instantly wherever they are, while clinical care at the
bedside is now optimised due to the ready access of
patient records.”
