Helping Hyde Housing Understand the Value of Cloud

We helped Hyde Housing see beyond immediate performance issues. With rigorous analysis, we identified a new future in the Cloud. And with our different perspective we helped push virtualization technology to its full potential with our UK Managed Services solution.

  • Creating a Vision for Cloud

    Hyde Housing urgently needed to update systems and improve performance. They chose us for our straight-up, no-nonsense approach. In other words, we were not afraid to challenge existing preconceptions.

     

    Because we knew value for money for this housing association was key, we left no stone unturned. So, as part of our analysis, we drew up a full picture of their applications, servers and data centres. And this approach paid off. Not only did it provide the fullest possible picture for future direction, we uncovered underused technology. We then immediately put this VMware hypervisor to work to boost performance. As a result Hyde were able to maximise existing investments.

    De-commissioning 70 servers felt great! Moving to a Managed Service has delivered immediate savings to re-invest back into the business.

Improving Performance Without Breaking Budgets

Following our successful analysis, Hyde Housing appointed us to build a new custom UK Managed Services solution. This is delivered from our own leading Data Centre and has helped them achieve even greater resilience and performance. Because they have the latest power and cooling technology, Hyde Housing now has the stability needed.

 

And, critically it has helped end users do a much better job. For example, field staff can log in from remote locations securely and quickly. This has particularly helped their maintenance team who only have a short window to upload large photos in between jobs.

 

Following on from our robust analysis, the Hyde Housing IT team have secured buy-in and resources to start their well-planned move to the Cloud.
