“SystemsUp recently ran a two day workshop for the Borough of Poole focussing on establishing a business case for the adoption of cloud technologies. We found SystemsUp to be subject experts on both the technologies and the commercials of cloud adoption. Their systemic approach and rigour throughout the two days built real confidence in the eventual findings. The fact that SystemsUp were not trying to sell any products or services gave us the reassurance that the advice given would be vendor agnostic and truly in our best interest.”

“We wanted a hosting provider who was local to our headquarters but would also work with us in a strategic partnership. iomart showed it could listen to our requirements and respond quickly with a flexible solution. We have a good relationship with iomart. Anything we need doing that we can’t do ourselves we just log in to the control portal, submit a ticket and iomart takes care of it within the parameters of the contract.”

“iomart has given us direct control of our systems through a hosted VMWare vCenter Platform. It was a seamless transition since no additional training was required. We call iomart only if there’s a problem or if we need firewall ports opened, other than that we have full autonomy to control all our VMs. The flexibility has been fabulous.”

“On behalf NHS South London CSU it has been a pleasure to work with SystemsUp on this project. They integrated well into the organisation, understanding our constraints and being extremely patient when we had to delay activities at short notice. It was a great experience to work with them.”

“RapidSwitch provide us with the servers and the servers quickly because when there’s a surge in demand for a particular game we need them now. We might be dealing with a rapid escalation for Battlefield or a new patch for Minecraft has come out and we need to be able to respond quickly to consumer demand. Gamers do not want to wait!”

“Our data is our gold and without it there is no Barton Willmore. It really is very important to us to know that it is secure and protected within RapidSwitch’s data centre and the wider iomart Group network.”

“Data centres can be quite unfriendly places but whenever we walk in the iomart staff are always responsive, they help us with absolutely whatever we need. That’s a big plus for us.”

“We’ve resolved a lot of the problems we were experiencing and we can now do so much more for less, increasing our CPU in a matter of hours rather than weeks.”

“We were getting around 6000 emails a day but only about 5 per cent of that was email we wanted or needed to receive,” explains for English National Ballet. “Spam is incredibly irritating both for the people who get it but also for people like me who are responsible for the organisation’s IT. I simply don’t have the time to check each email to see whether it’s ok to let through to our staff so iomart’s email filtering takes the strain instead.”

“The complete package provided by iomart allows us to focus on our customers and our ecommerce software because all the hardware and operating systems are all taken care of. Aspidistra wants to be in the software and services business and not the hardware and hosting business. Cloud services allow us to deliver specific capabilities to our clients with having to worry about the detail of their provision. We moved from the public to a private cloud because it is more cost effective and gives finer grained control on how we allocate resources. We no longer tell our customers how big the resources we allocate to them are, we just tell them it is enough!”
