La Redoute goes to managed cloud backup with Adapt solution
Clothing brand enjoys "versatility and cost advantages" in off-premise move
Clothing retailer La Redoute is the latest company to move its storage backup needs to the cloud, choosing managed hybrid cloud vendor Adapt to take backup off-premise.
Boasting over 10 million customers across 26 countries of trade and headquartered in the UK in Bradford, La Redoute decided that a move to cloud for backup would "improve the reliability and performance of key elements of its backup strategy across the organisation".
Adapt implemented Commvault data and information management software for backup and recovery, with IT consultancy firm ORIIUM offering a package of backup cover known as CX:Protect - a solution split into three distinct areas:
"The service offers La Redoute three levels of cover: Mass Data Protection (MDP) for physical server and associated file storage, Intelligent Application Protection (IAP) for databases and directory services, and Virtual Server Essential Protection (VSEP) for the virtual server estate," explained ORIIUM.
La Redoute head of IT and facilities Andy Green called the Adapt and ORIIUM combination a "best of breed approach" to the "backup challenges" the retailer needed to address.
"As a growing fashion and homeware retailer, we wanted to leverage the versatility and cost advantages offered by a cloud solution, but also be confident that the levels of service and security were of the highest standards," said Green.
"Adapt fully understood the challenge and this approach integrates all these requirements, as well as being highly cost-effective."
Adapt believes that working with a consultancy gives its offerings "combined experience" to "capitalise on the core benefits of a cloud-first approach".
