HBL ICT is an NHS organisation supplying foundation trusts in Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire, and Luton with leading IT solutions and services. After realising the 300 virtual-machine-strong architecture needed optimised disaster recovery, HBL ICT decided to reassess its environment and look for a solution that could help it offer uninterrupted services. After an evaluation of competitive products, HBL ICT selected Zerto to protect its virtualised infrastructure while keeping costs low, providing piece of mind and allowing the IT team to focus on more strategic projects.
“Doctors and their support staff rely on critical data and applications every day to treat their patients – there is no opportunity for downtime. Since the implementation of Zerto, we can confidently provide IT services to all of the GP surgeries and clinics who rely on us and in turn help them provide better patient care,” said Phil Turnock, ICT Director at HBL ICT. “Implementing ZVR was easy, quick and the everyday management is minimal. What started as a disaster recovery plan has now helped us to improve our overall approach to IT.”
Following the successful installation of Zerto, HBL ICT can provide industry-leading IT resilience, onboard new customers 90% faster and offer disaster recovery testing that’s non-intrusive to normal operations. Internally HBL are also able to reduce their management overhead by 50%.
