Proact transforms IT architecture to support growth initiatives at Howard Kennedy
As a growing business, Howard Kennedy required a partner that could help deliver huge digital transformation projects. Based in London, the law firm provides a variety of legal services, from financial services to real estate, and works with entrepreneurial businesses, funders and individuals.
Howard Kennedy sought a service provider with solid experience in the legal sector and who also had advanced technical skills. Proact fit the bill and could deliver on the firm’s main aim which was to replace its ageing storage systems, in both its primary and secondary data centres, with next generation, fully redundant and highly performant technology. The organisation’s existing NetApp storage arrays were also coming to the end of their support cycle but due to rising support costs, it was impractical to extend this support any further. Proact developed a solution.
Proact carried out a performance review of Howard Kennedy’s existing systems to establish a clear idea of capacity, bandwidth and IOPS requirements, ultimately ensuring that the new solution was what the business needed. With these findings in mind, a holistic solution was designed by Proact’s experts which offered a high performance, highly available storage and a compute infrastructure that could cope with future demands.
“It’s a pleasure to work with Proact. These projects have significantly improved our IT capacity and performance, ensuring the underlying infrastructure supports our 2020 vision of growth via acquisitions, with a fixed monthly cost and guaranteed cost per GB for any expansion,” says Clive Knott, IT Director at Howard Kennedy.
