SNR Denton 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 SNR Denton. 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 SNR Denton 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 a network and IT infrastructure specialist, SNR Denton decided to outsource its data and selected a colocation hosting solution from Telstra. For over five years, the firm has had exclusive use of a private data suite, situated within Telstra’s state-of-the-art hosting centre in London’s Docklands. Providing over 82m2 of space, this private suite provides all the electricity and air conditioning that the business needs, together with round-the-clock building security. SNR Denton’s servers in the private suite are connected directly to Telstra’s high speed, fully redundant backbone to ensure complete network resilience and data security. In the future, as the firm’s requirements evolve, it has the ability to quickly and easily add whatever additional space and services it needs.
