With a pricing model that is subscription-based, simple and predictable, Redstor allows Rooks Rider to budget confidently.
Darren said: “We know that if we have a set amount of data, that’s what we pay for. It’s very simple. There are no hidden costs, which is brilliant. That helps me to get sign-off from my finance director. We used to pay about £750 per month to back up the same volume of data – now we pay almost half of that. Over a year that saves about £4,200.”
Redstor’s clients have 24/7 access to a support team that draws on 20 years’ knowledge and experience within the storage and backup industry. If Rooks Rider ever need support, Darren has the reassurance that his IT staff are speaking to an organisation that is both the technology vendor and infrastructure owner. He said: “I very rarely contact Redstor. The success rates of the backups are so good. If something has not backed up, it’s not because of the software, it’ll be something else.”
Redstor is trusted by more than 40,000 clients around the world to help discover, analyse, control and protect their critical data. With UK data centres, Redstor also meets Rooks Rider’s legal requirement to ensure data never leaves the country.
Darren said: “That gives me peace of mind. I know backups are working and that the data is in a safe place. That was crucial.”
Rooks Rider’s previous data management provider was taken over by another organisation, and Darren said: “I found out that the service had been stopped without me even being notified so I had to find something rather quickly to do our online backups. The main concern was price, location of data and ease of use. Redstor met all of those criteria.” Darren has had no qualms about recommending Redstor. He said: “I would say go ahead and trial it like I did because it is well worth the money. I know it works and whenever I need it, it’s always there.”
