Hull City Football Club Protected With Backup Everything

Backup Everything Ltd (BE) announces that Hull City, (nickname – The Tigers) has selected it’s cloud backup solution to protect their data from any unforeseen disaster or data loss.

Hull City is a professional football club based in Hull and was founded in 1904. They play in the Championship, the second tier of English football.

With a mixture of virtual and physical environments plus many applications, The Tigers were looking for a backup vendor that could not only cater for their current needs but also gave them the ability to scale in future.

“The service and solution are our key indicators when we choose suppliers in our regular review, not only backup, said Martin Conley,” IT manager, Hull City. “Backup Everything are one of the few cloud backup vendors going in the right direction in terms of growth, whilst others are fading away. Their independent PC PRO review also gave us confidence in the overall selection process and we are pleased to be associated with them for the foreseeable future.“

Football is a fast paced sport, watched by millions in the UK and billions worldwide, there are certain similarities to backup which are interesting to compare:

• Fast recovery for players to perform every match: Restoring data needs to be quick so the club doesn’t have any downtime
• Playing home and away: Having the ability to do local and cloud backups
• 24/7 operation: Nothing stops happening
• Fans: Give a good service to customers and assist with any issues

Backup Everything stores data for customers in the UK across two sites, i.e. primary in London and replicated to Bournemouth, plus meet all GDPR requirements. Both independent DC’s are ISO 27001 certified and the nature of the solution means customers get daily notifications of backup reports thus helping with any company auditing.

“We are pleased Hull City have chosen us to be their cloud backup provider,” says Saaher Muzafer, MD, Backup Everything. “In the industry that we are in, stability of the backup vendor is crucial for anyone looking to trust their data with a provider as well as price, QoS and security.
