It outsourced its data hosting to Telstra International and gained the network resilience and security that is critical for its business.
The Challenge
High data security and business continuity are two critical requirements for Denton Wilde Sapte. The company is an international law firm with over 800 lawyers and a network of 14 offices spanning the UK, Europe, Middle East, Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS ) and Africa. Whether the firm’s lawyers are advising a client on a branding deal or ensuring that a multi-million pound property sale runs smoothly, they need 100% faith in their data security and rapid access to information.
When Denton Wilde Sapte relocated from two London offices to its headquarters in the City of London, it reviewed its entire IT infrastructure. One of its major challenges was managing and securing its growing volumes of corporate and client data. A second pressing challenge was the need to replace its in-house disaster recovery solution to achieve more robust business continuity processes.
The Solution
After seeking advice from Comunica Ltd, a network and IT infrastructure specialist, Denton Wilde Sapte decided to outsource its data and selected a hosting solution from Telstra.
The firm now uses 82m2 of space at Telstra’s state-of-the-art data centre in London’s Docklands. In the future, as its requirements evolve, it has the ability to quickly and easily add whatever additional capacity it needs. Denton Wilde Sapte’s servers are connected directly to Telstra’s high speed, fully redundant backbone to ensure complete network resilience and security.
