Chamber member, AIMES Grid Services, has won a three year contract to provide disaster recovery services to North West training and consultancy provider, Sysco Group.

The contract sees AIMES deliver a real time replication and failover service which streams data from Sysco to the AIMES ISO27001 certified data centre facility at Liverpool Innovation Park. If Sysco’s on-site servers fail for any reason, including loss of power, virtual servers within the AIMES data centre automatically take over, ensuring no interruption in service for Sysco’s clients and staff.

As a provider of Government-funded training schemes such as Train to Gain, Sysco is required to maintain and store large amounts of personal data on individuals. Systems availability and data security are therefore key priorities for the business, Ian Smith, managing director at Sysco Group explains:

“Like most firms, the amount of data we store digitally is growing both in terms of volume and importance. Information has become as critical to our business as cash is and so protecting it is no longer just a technical issue, but a business one. The disaster recovery service that we receive from AIMES mitigates the risk of any downtime or data loss, and ensures that we are complying with legal requirements.”

Richard Spragg, technical director at AIMES, said: “Real time data replication and failover is widely regarded as the Rolls Royce of disaster recovery solutions, which is why it’s the choice of so many blue chip companies.

“Traditionally, it’s come with a premium price tag though, which has kept it out of reach of many smaller businesses. Investments in local digital infrastructure are changing the business model for these types of services and making them accessible to local SMEs.”
