Moneycorp has selected Adapt’s Enterprise Virtual Data Centre (eVDC) solution. The agreement will see Adapt deliver all of Moneycorp’s production services at a significantly increased level of availability and performance, as well as strengthening the company’s existing disaster recovery capabilities.

Adapt was initially selected to provide an initial split-site colocation agreement following a competitive tender process undertaken by Moneycorp. However, as the two companies began working closely together, Adapt gained a better insight into its client's exact requirements and consequently transformed the original scope into a fully managed outsourced environment.

Kenneth Byrne, head of IT services at Moneycorp, says: “Our aims were two-fold - firstly to significantly reduce the organisations overall IT infrastructure risk by putting in place a highly resilient and reliable infrastructure based around a dual data-centre, mirrored-site offering. Secondly to put in place a first-class infrastructure that would grow and scale to meet the business current and future expansion needs. With Adapt’s eVDC service we have managed to achieve both of these core aims quickly and at a competitive cost, allowing internal IT teams to re-focus from reactive hardware maintenance to more customer-centric and strategic elements.”

The eVDC has provided Moneycorp with synchronously replicated storage across two sites for maximum possible availability. Adapt has also provisioned a compute layer based on Cisco’s UCS technology, coupled with VMware vSphere configured for maximum performance and memory/CPU workload. Finally, Adapt procured and manage a fully resilient WAN infrastructure connecting their London offices using diverse carriers.
