The IT Cloud Saves Christmas
Halpern and Co is an accountancy practice based in central London. Their on-premise file server experienced a critical hardware failure during the Christmas holiday period. Imagine returning to work with no access to information, no ability to send or receive email. This was doubly problematic for Halpern & Co as they enter accountancy silly season; otherwise known as Self-Assessment January!
Fortunately their backup was in the cloud and so data could be restored quickly onto a local PC as an interim solution, at the same time we quickly migrated their email onto a hosted Microsoft Exchange solution to get them back up and running as quickly as possible.

Although Microsoft still provide support for the Server 2008 operating system this was still 7 year old hardware that was 4 years out of warranty. A critical hardware failure is often the first of many issues and so, rather than risk further disruption, it was decided to move the entire business into the cloud.
