Case Study: Ashmole Academy – Disaster Recovery Infrastructure Refresh

Overview

Ashmole Academy – Disaster Recovery Infrastructure Refresh

Going through a period of huge growth, Ashmole Academy required a refresh of its ageing infrastructure, in particular around backup and disaster recovery. Technology integrator Krome Technologies supplied and installed a robust storage and virtualisation platform eliminating the risk of single point of failure in the production environment.

Ashmole Academy needed a more reliable and resilient system that would provide 24/7 access to all users including students and staff. The solution needed to ensure an always accessible service to guarantee that any issues could be resolved quickly, with the current system taking hours to fix and leading to downtime for users.

“We’re a school that’s going through a huge period of growth at the moment and we are opening a primary school this year, we needed a complete refresh of our ageing infrastructure.”

With a limited budget and specific requirements around storage and virtualisation, Ashmole Academy wanted to ensure that it was choosing the right technology for its needs and also the right integration partner.

“Krome stood out in terms of the advice they gave us, they had a great level of technical knowledge which gave me confidence in the solution. Krome’s expertise in the education sector was also hugely important as we have very specific challenges and Krome knew how to address each of these.”
