ASK4 is an award-winning provider of high-speed Internet solutions and managed data services for multi-tenant accommodation. ASK4 owns and operates a carrier neutral data centre optimised for the Internet industry.
Situated in Sheffield, the data centre is well connected to key network locations in London, Manchester, and Leeds. At this site, ASK4 was running many of its core services which help make their products run, through back-up Virtual Machines. The company was keen to move away from this back-up system to a cloud-based solution that would have more than one failure point, making their overall backup system more reliable and secure, and helping to futureproof its activities and further development across its multiple sites.
ASK4 needed a robust hybrid cloud and on-premise data replication and failover strategy to enhance the resilience of their database infrastructure.
The Curve developed a proof of concept exploring multiple approaches to hybrid cloud failover and data replication, assessing their feasibility, benefits, and implementation considerations. In four months, the team built and introduced the new system which now provides more secure and reliable backup solutions.

“When briefing The Curve with this task they understood our team’s high expectations and clearly and sensibly outlined how these would be met in ambitious timeframes.
Their expertise and approach to feedback throughout the project reassured us that the system would fulfil our requirements and the ever-changing needs of our growing business.
Having the team at The Curve on board was a real pleasure and we would most certainly recommend them to other suppliers looking for solutions such as this one.”
