La Redoute Shops Selects Managed Cloud Backup From Adapt

La Redoute has implemented a managed cloud backup solution with Adapt Services Limited to improve the reliability and performance of key elements of its backup strategy across the organisation.

The service, which will be delivered by Adapt in partnership with specialist solutions provider, Oriium Consulting Limited, will be based on Commvault Systems, Inc.‘ backup and recovery technology. The solution replaces La Redoute’s previous on-premise solution, ensuring that its backup and file restoration systems can keep up with the company’s growth.

The service, ORIIUM CX:Protect, 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.

Andy Green, head, IT and facilities, La Redoute UK, explained: “Adapt and ORIIUM offer a best of breed approach to the backup challenges we 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. Adapt fully understood the challenge and this approach integrates all these requirements, as well as being highly cost-effective.“

Scotty Morgan, chief sales officer, Adapt, commented: “We’re excited to be working with La Redoute and supporting their business growth. La Redoute is drawing on the combined experience and expertise of Adapt and ORIIUM to capitalise on the core benefits of a cloud-first approach. It allows their IT team to focus on strategic elements of their infrastructure, confident in the fact that they have a much more reliable and secure approach to backup than before.“
