The Challenge

Global Telemetrics had previously been hosted with a cloud solution from Rackspace UK but quickly found that the service was placing a number of constraints on the products and services they were able to offer to their customers. Daniel Cook, head of IT at global telemetrics comments: “The cloud solution we had from our previous provider placed a number of limitations on the services we could offer our customers, by opting for secure colocation space in UK Servers Coventry datacentre we now have full control of our servers, how they are connected and configured”
As an approved monitor of Thatcham Quality Assured devices both physical and online security was paramount to Global Telemetrics. By opting for private rackspace in UK Servers datacentre Global Telemetrics have ensured the upmost level of security for their customers and data. Daniel comments: “When looking at other datacentre providers we were shocked to find many of their rackspace colocation offerings were infact just space on a shelf in a shared rack. UK Servers provide our own private rack with its own front and rear lockable doors ensuring nobody can get to our equipment unless authorised”

The Future

By choosing their own private rackspace service Global Telemetrics have allowed sufficient headroom for expansion.

“Our current rackspace is only at half capacity, thanks to UK Servers flexible pay as you grow billing options we are only paying for the power we need to operate the servers we have. As our business grows and we want to put additional machines online we can do so within the same rackspace eliminating the costly requirement of any cross connects”
